Package: makedev
Version: 2.3.1-91
Severity: serious
Hi,
the debian/postinst of makedev currently contains the following code:
# force update of fb devices if kernel is Linux >= 2.4 and they already exist
kern_rev1=`uname -r | sed -e 's@^\([^.]*\)\..*@\1@'`
kern_rev2=`uname -r | sed -e 's@^[^.]*\.\([^.]*\)\..*@\1@'`
if [ `uname -s` = "Linux" ] && [ $kern_rev1 -ge 2 ] && [ $kern_rev2 -ge 4 ] &&
[ -e /dev/fb0 ]
then
MAKEDEV fb
fi
This fails boldly on my machine with linux-image-3.4-trunk-amd64 being
installed as `uname -r` returns "3.4-trunk-amd64".
And even if it would return 3.4.0, the condition is false for 3.x kernels
before 3.4 (like the 3.2 in Wheezy) → serious because of that.
A possible fix would be
kern_rev2=`uname -r | sed -e 's@^[^.]*\.\([0-9]*\).*@\1@'`
But then the if condition still has to be updated, as it won't trigger
with [3.0..3.4[
Regards
Evgeni
