Bug#797772: irda-utils: Upgrading the package compains on nonexistant /dev/MAKEDEV

[Olivier Berger <olivier.berger@telecom-sudparis.eu>]

Package: irda-utils
Version: 0.9.18-14
Severity: normal

Hi.

The postinst apparently tries to use /dev/MAKEDEV :

Paramétrage de irda-utils (0.9.18-14) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/irda-utils.postinst: ligne 141: /dev/MAKEDEV: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

(which in french tells us that /dev/MAKEDEV doesn't exist, somewhere in line 141).

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
