But ... makedev is Priority: required, even in sid. And Policy says that removing a package marked as required "may cause your system to become totally broken and you may not even be able to use dpkg to put things back, so only do so if you know what you are doing". udev is still merely optional. > Usually I think this would be solved with a pre-depend, but obviously > we do not want to use one here. > I think that just "text -x MAKEDEV" is an acceptable solution. > Any other comments? I think it can always rely on /sbin/MAKEDEV being there. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
