Oh that one. m68k.debian.org, now kullervo.biophys... You're lucky there,
it got hung up with some kernel problem today and I had to reboot it to
fix the root filesystem. I need to talk to Roman what else on that box
might need regular backup.

The permissions are fine, so is major/minor. The chroot is on a separate
filesystem from / (but that works just fine on m68k). Weird indeed.
