Bug#597926: /var/lib/dpkg/info/isdnvboxserver.postinst: 21: MAKEDEV: not found
Package: isdnvboxserver
Version: 1:3.9.20060704+dfsg.1-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The installation of the isdnvboxserver package fails in the postinst step:
Setting up isdnvboxserver (1:3.9.20060704+dfsg.1-3) ...
Note: running MAKEDEV to create ISDN tty devices in /dev...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/isdnvboxserver.postinst: 21: MAKEDEV: not found
dpkg: error processing isdnvboxserver (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of isdnutils:
isdnutils depends on isdnvboxserver; however:
Package isdnvboxserver is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing isdnutils (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
isdnvboxserver
isdnutils
The problem seems to be a PATH assuming to contain '.' in /var/lib/dpkg/info/isdnvboxserver.postinst:
[...]
cd /dev
echo "Note: running MAKEDEV to create ISDN tty devices in /dev..
.."
MAKEDEV isdn-tty
[...]
Changing this to
[...]
cd /dev
echo "Note: running MAKEDEV to create ISDN tty devices in /dev..
.."
./MAKEDEV isdn-tty
[...]
fixes the problem.
Since MAKEDEV is a dummy, the block could be deleted completely.
