Hello,

While trying to upgrade bluez-utils it failed with the following error:

Setting up bluez-utils (3.1-4+b1) ...

A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

Press return to continue.


It apparently tries to run MAKEDEV from the current directory. Does the
postinst cd to the directory where MAKEDEV is installed (/sbin)? Could

the nasty part is at line 38:


[snip]
        # use MAKEDEV instead of the original bluez script below as
per policy 10.6
        echo "Creating device nodes ..."
       cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV bluetooth

        if [ -r /etc/bluetooth/pin ]; then
            echo "Converting default outgoing PIN to default passkey:"
[snip]

Probably something like this could be the fix (for sarge upgrade path):

Note that I haven't tested this for upgrades, downgrades...
