Public bug reported: You will find when running “apt-get upgrade” (if you have Lucid updates enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list) that you get this error on upgrading udev:
mknod: `/lib/udev/devices/ppp': Operation not permitted This problem is mentioned on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LXC#Issues and described many places. Here are two. http://www.emanuelis.eu/2010/09/15/mknod-lib-udev-devices-ppp-operation-not-permitted-when-updating-ubuntu-10-04-on-virtual-lxc-machine/ http://johnlewis.ie/lxc-firewall-logging-and-udev-upgrade-in-ubuntu/ This seems like an old, known problem, but I did not find a Launchpad bug, so I'm filing it. The change to /var/lib/lxc/server/config seemed to fix it for me (though then revealing bug 892892 next). ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902190 Title: udev fails to update (oneric host, lucid container) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/902190/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
