Note that these reports were bogus, the only issue here, which is minor at most (as changed by Julien) is that the order of the alternative Depends might need to be switched from ‘makedev | udev’ to ‘udev | makedev’ to match the priority of the packages. Please do not simply remove the makedev dependency as it makes using those packages on Linux systems w/o udev and the work of porters way more difficult (MAKEDEV is present on non-Linux ports, but udev is not). thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
