Ah, fun with udev in a chroot.
But unconditionally calling MAKEDEV in postinst is of course no good
idea ...
After looking at some other .postinst files I have prepared the
following patch now:
#v+
Index: debian/postinst
===================================================================
--- debian/postinst (revision 1469)
+++ debian/postinst (working copy)
@@ -23,8 +23,11 @@
case "$1" in
configure)
# we need a tun device
- echo "Creating device /dev/net/tun ..."
- cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV tun
+ if [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ] && [ -x /dev/MAKEDEV ] ; then
+ echo "Creating device /dev/net/tun ..."
+ cd /dev
+ ./MAKEDEV tun || true
+ fi
# and we want a special user
adduser --quiet --system --home /var/run/iodine iodine
# generate /etc/default/iodine
#v-
piuparts now succeeds -- at least regarding to iodine, it is not very
happy about purging udev:
1m5.3s ERROR: Package purging left files on system:
/lib/libvolume_id.so.0 owned by: libvolume-id0
/usr/share/doc/libvolume-id0 owned by: libvolume-id0
1m5.3s ERROR: After purging files have disappeared:
/etc/udev owned by: util-linux, udev
/etc/udev/rules.d owned by: util-linux, udev
1m5.3s ERROR: FAIL: Installation and purging test.
But I guess there's not much I can do about it, right?
Any comments on the patch?
And a question to the release team:
The postinst and the bug are the same for 0.4.2-1 in sid and 0.4.1-4
in lenny; do you prefer to unblock the version in sid or should a
prepare a 0.4.1-4lenny1 version with distribution "testing", too?
Cheers,
gregor
