Hi,
It's now failing to build with:
mknod debian/ttyS47 c 4 111
mknod: `debian/ttyS47': Operation not permitted
mknod() is a privileged system call, you need root/CAP_MKNOD for
this.
I built this package under pbuilder 0.128 and the standard
2.6.8 kernel on sarge so it must be a permissions (or capabilities)
problem of some sort.
Another possibility is you could have tried to build it on a partition
mounted nodev.
I have to wonder why it failed to build in the first place, every
system really should have something like a /dev/ttyS1 or
/dev/tty1, and I think the problem was on the submitters setup
rather than a bug in the package.
If pbuilder does not have those thing in /dev, I'd say it's a
problem with pbuilder.
It does but it would cause output to the real /dev/ttyS1 which
could be a bad thing if you have e.g. a modem hanging off it.
Perhaps the only foolproof solution is to disable the tests.
