Package: debian-policy Version: 3.1.1.1 Severity: normal If a package needs any special device files that are not included in the base system, it has to call makedev' in the postinst' script, after asking the user for permission to do so. "makedev" is not a command on my system, but MAKEDEV is. I suspect this is just a typo. -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux paper 2.2.13 #1 Mon Nov 22 23:44:53 PST 1999 i586 unknown
