That's indeed a weird message but it's not coming (directly) from the
iodine package but from udev/makedev. All the postinst script does
is:
if [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ]&& [ -x /dev/MAKEDEV ] ; then
echo "Creating device /dev/net/tun ..."
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV tun || true
fi
The message you are seeing seems to come from the makedev() function
in /dev/MAKEDEV:
That's quite right, thanks for the tip.
Now, the interesting part in your error messages is IMO the
"Read-only file system" hint. Have you already checked your /dev file
system?
Well, I have to confess that I'm a little bit confused (and not up to
date at all) by udev.
/dev seems to be mounted with the correct permissions (via `mount`).
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
But /dev/.static/dev is mounted ro (cf debian bug #481559, and the
content of /proc/mounts since .static is not added to mtab).
The bug is fixed in udev/0.124-1 and I had udev/0.105-4 (stable).
I upgraded my system to lenny (and an up to date version of udev) and
the bug is gone with a perfectly working iodine. I think that the bug
can now be closed.
Thank you Gregor for the help !
