Package: thinkpad-base Version: 5.8-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch After installing thinkpad-base and rebooting, I noticed that the /dev/thinkpad device node was being created with incorrect permissions. A quick search on Google revealed that the permissions.d directory is now obsolete and rules should only be placed in rules.d (with a mandatory .rules suffix). The attached thinkpad.rules file should have the same effect as the original file placed in permissions.d.
Kevin Related Note: The README.Debian for udev states that placing files in rules.d is discouraged, and that maintainers should contact the udev package maintainer and "explain your needs". I felt that it would not be my place to contact the udev maintainer (and that perhaps this had already been done). In any case, I thought it was worth a mention. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10.20050312a Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages thinkpad-base depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii makedev 2.3.1-75 Creates device files in /dev ii module-init-tools 3.2-pre1-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo
