Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
I'm trying to install gutsy in a vserver environment. udev fails to
install, thereby ruining ubuntu-base. Here's what it complains of:
Here is what udev complains
Setting up udev (113-0ubuntu11) ...
mknod: `/lib/udev/devices/ppp': Operation not permitted
dpkg: error processing udev (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-minimal:
ubuntu-minimal depends on udev; however:
Package udev is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing ubuntu-minimal (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
I can verify the problem in a shell:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mknod -m 600 /lib/udev/devices/ppp c 108 0
mknod: `/lib/udev/devices/ppp': Operation not permitted
I'm not quite sure why this fails, to be honest, but I don't much about
the vserver environment. Note that vserver is one of the popular Linux
virtualization systems, and that it's part of Debian, so I imagine that
people will hit this fairly often.
Let me know if you would like more information; I'm happy to provide it
or e.g. ssh login into the vserver.
