Interesting. I just checked /etc/rc2.d/ and did not have a symlink to /etc/init.d/makedev there. dpkg-reconfigure makedev fixed that. Still I don't know why this symlink was not there before. I did not remove it afaicr myself. I'm fine if this bug is closed now as it seems to have been a problem on my side (though I can't explain the absence of the /etc/rc2.d/S20makedev symlink). Just out of curiosity: How can udev satisfy the dependency of powermgmt-base (Depends: makedev | udev) if udev does not ship a MAKEDEV script. Does udev create one on the fly if makedev is not installed? Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
