Package: fbset
Version: 2.1-20
Severity: serious

durting upgrade, I get this:

Setting up fbset (2.1-20) ...
error making /dev/fb: File exists
dpkg: error processing fbset (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9
Errors were encountered while processing:
 fbset

I guess this is MAKEDEV's fault, because it shouldn't be trying to
mess with udev.  In any case, fbset's postinst shouldn't fail if it
can't create the device.  Is there any reason for fbset to create the
devices in the first place?
