Package: irda-utils
Version: 0.9.18-3
Severity: normal
For me, the postinstall script fails with:
Setting up irda-utils (0.9.18-3) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/irda-utils.postinst: line 174: ./MAKEDEV: No such file or
directory
Starting IrDA service: irattachFailed to open device /dev/tts/5: No such file
or directory
invoke-rc.d: initscript irda-utils, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing irda-utils (--configure):
This is because the script has this snippet that does not work with
udev:
if [ ! -e /dev/.devfsd ]; then
(cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV irda && ./MAKEDEV irnet)
fi
It seems a test for udev is needed. I propose this:
if [ ! -e /dev/.devfsd -a ! -e /dev/.udev ]; then
(cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV irda && ./MAKEDEV irnet)
fi
Please note that /dev/tts/5 existed because of numbering problems with
older kernels, it is one of /dev/tts/[0-3] now. The message about a
missing /dev/tts/5 is completely correct. I need to reconfigure my IrDA...
