Package: makedev
Version: 2.3.1-89
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I've just added a USB DVB receiver to my machine (a PCTV Nanostick
290e), then installed dvb-apps 1.1.1+rev1355-1, which runs "cd /dev;
./MAKEDEV dvb" as part of its postinst script.
The device nodes that were created are as follows:
$ ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 1 Oct 16 23:11 audio0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 6 Oct 16 23:11 ca0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 4 Oct 16 23:11 demux0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 5 Oct 16 23:11 dvr0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 Oct 16 23:11 frontend0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 1 Oct 16 23:07 frontend1
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 7 Oct 16 23:11 net0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 8 Oct 16 23:11 osd0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 0 Oct 16 23:11 video0
(frontend1 wasn't created by MAKEDEV.)
These don't match the nodes that had already been created by udev, so
actually using any DVB program after that will fail. sysfs shows what
the nodes ought to be:
$ grep '' /sys/class/dvb/*/dev
/sys/class/dvb/dvb0.demux0/dev:212:2
/sys/class/dvb/dvb0.dvr0/dev:212:3
/sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/dev:212:0
/sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend1/dev:212:1
/sys/class/dvb/dvb0.net0/dev:212:4
(And creating those by hand makes it work, obviously, as I assume
rebooting would.)
I don't know whether this is just a peculiarity of the driver
(em28xx_dvb) compared to other DVB devices, but it's certainly wrong.
Let me know if you need any further details.
Thanks,
Adam
