It is. If it does not exist then your system is broken. If udev is installed but makedev is not, /sbin/MAKEDEV will not exist but /dev/MAKEDEV will. /dev/MAKEDEV is the correct interface and is what is used by other packages. BTW, please remove the dependency on modutils, it's not in the archive anymore. (I also wonder if the device created by MAKEDEV is still provided by modern kernels.) -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: Digital signature

retitle 449049 postinst incomplete if installed in chroot
tags 449049 +patch
thanks
Please change your postinst script to call /sbin/MAKEDEV. The link in
/dev is not available in chroots, and thus making your postinst be
incomplete if the package is installed into a chroot.
Besides the incompleteness, it also gives an annoying warning about the
missing MAKEDEV.

Bug#449049: powermgmt-base: /sbin/MAKEDEV not /dev/
Package: powermgmt-base Version: 1.29 package:makedev contains /sbin/MAKEDEV and its initscript creates the link /dev/MAKEDEV = /sbin/MAKEDEV. powermgmt-base.postinst does: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV -v apm; but the link isn't apparently guaranteed to exist when this is called. I'm building a debian-live ISO image which triggers this, though I'm not sure I guess something is pulling it in as a dependency. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
