Package: xbase-clients Version: 4.2.1-5 Severity: wishlist During configuring we should put an file /etc/devfs/devices.d/xbase-clients to create /dev/xconsole pipe in devfs systems.
This file may for example look like this: xconsole p "" "" root adm 0640 I'm not sure if this isthe correct way to do this, but it works for me. But what to do if we first install xbase-clients, and after some time switch the system to devfs? Maybe create a /etc/devfs/devices.d/xbase-clients file just in case the system will be switched to devfs later? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux tarnica 2.4.18 #8 Mon Mar 24 07:01:47 CET 2003 i586 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 Versions of packages xbase-clients depends on: ii cpp 3:3.2.2-0 The GNU C preprocessor. ii libc6 2.3.1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdps1 4.2.1-5 Display PostScript (DPS) client li ii libfreetype6 2.1.4-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libncurses5 5.3.20021109-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libxaw7 4.2.1-5 X Athena widget set library ii xlibmesa3-gl [libgl1] 4.2.1-5 Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86] ii xlibmesa3-glu 4.2.1-5 Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree ii xlibs 4.2.1-5 X Window System client libraries -- no debconf information
