IIRC the udev maintainer has committed to always ensure that /dev/MAKEDEV is available. And it does not really make sense to run /sbin/MAKEDEV when /dev is under udev's control. > To my understanding the ./MAKEDEV would also not satisfy that should > clause, but at least lintian doesn't detect it and you don't need an to > override it's warning ;) > > However, you are the maintainer, so I sponsored the version on mentors. This version has the rather serious flaw that the capiutils postinst still checks for /dev/MAKEDEV rather than /sbin/MAKEDEV which it actually tries to run. :-( Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
