Package: tinc
Version: 1.0.3-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When `apt-get install tinc` for new tinc version, postinst script attempts to
MAKEDEV net/tun.

Following error observed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dpkg --configure tinc
Setting up tinc (1.0.3-3) ...
Creating /dev/net/tun...
./MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "net/tun"
Failed to create /dev/net/tun.
./MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "net/tun"
dpkg: error processing tinc (--configure):
  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 128
Errors were encountered while processing:
  tinc


Grave bug because dpkg fails with an error, and prevents users from
installing other packages.

This could be related to bug #292450 (which asked if MAKEDEV should be run,
and failed if 'n').

Suggestion:
As the tap/tun device I'm using is /dev/tun; not /dev/net/tun, perhaps
the postinst script should check for the existence of:
- /dev/net/tun
- /dev/net/tap  (can this exist?)
- /dev/tun
- /dev/tap      (not sure about this one either)
