This makes it a serious bug; policy says: If a package needs any special device files that are not included in the base system, it must call MAKEDEV in the postinst script, after notifying the user[60]. Given that MAKEDEV doesn't know about zaptel devices, I wonder how the package is supposed to do it. Should we file a bug against makedev and depend on the version that includes the right one? > It is also unneccesary on systems with either udev or devfs. At first sight, it seems to be skipped on udev/devfs systems (if DYNFS contains what it should...): if ! echo $DYNFS | grep -q devfsd || echo $DYNFS | grep -q udevd ; then -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
