Bug#115109: liblockdev1: can't cope with devfs-style devices

[Enrik Berkhan <Enrik.Berkhan@planb.de>]

Package: liblockdev1
Version: 1.0.1-3
Severity: important

Hi,

liblockdev strips the dirname of a device and then prepends `/dev/' to
it. Thus it checks for the existance of `/dev/0', for example, when you
call dev_lock(`/dev/tts/0').

Suggestion: check FHS or whatever is appropriate for how this should be
handled.
