It is. If it does not exist then your system is broken. If udev is installed but makedev is not, /sbin/MAKEDEV will not exist but /dev/MAKEDEV will. /dev/MAKEDEV is the correct interface and is what is used by other packages. BTW, please remove the dependency on modutils, it's not in the archive anymore. (I also wonder if the device created by MAKEDEV is still provided by modern kernels.) -- ciao, Marco
