That definitely looks like a bug in bluez-utils to me. First, the changelog entry says that bluez-utils uses makedev in its postinst, but there's no dependency on it -- makedev is *not* Essential, so a dependency isn't optional. Second, future versions of makedev 3.x will presumably correct the compatibility issue with bluez-utils, so it's not necessarily right to conflict with all future versions like this -- one assumes that some day, makedev 3.x is going to enter unstable as well, right? So it looks like bluez-utils should really have Depends: makedev (<< 3.3.8.2-0) instead of Conflicts: makedev (>= 3.3.8.2-0). Either way, you'll still need to downgrade makedev on your system to be able to install it. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
