severity 385696 serious thanks < Putting makdev as a depencency is enough to ensure that this symlink is in place. Yes it would, but you do not depend on it.. It is makedev OR udev see? Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), sed (>= 4), ucf, adduser, makedev (>= 2.3.1-80) | udev
I had to ask anotherone from #debian-bugs just to make sure.. [08:05] <TeLLuS> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=385696 Is it a rcbug or not? Not depending on makedev and then use it in post-installation script and fail to configure? Use a path prepended and other packages depending on this package. [08:16] <pusling> doing weird stuff to your configuration that breaks other stuff isn't rc. [08:17] <pusling> rm -rf /bin/sh ; reportbug initscripts ; severity critical ; do not work without a /bin/sh symlink [08:31] <TeLLuS> pusling: It will still fail if I do not change my configuration.. It is not depending on makedev and will fail without any of my configuration. If I remove makedev and try to install I will get the same error without change to my configuration.. [08:31] <pusling> ah. [08:31] <pusling> then yes. So if it survive configuration without having makedev it is ok. Just by adding || true -- TIA Johan Thelmén Sweden Falun
