meta-kde-3.1.2 (directory), meta-kde-3.1.2.tar.gz, meta-kde-3.1.2.dsc. I
called them "meta" files because the documentation referred to the "orig"
files.

Here's the full text:
Setting up noflushd (2.7.2-1) ...
Starting No Flush Daemon: Error: Your kernel is configured with devfs, but
devfs is not
mounted anywhere. This means noflushd cannot work.
Please consult the noflushd README for details
invoke-rc.d: initscript noflushd, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing noflushd (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
noflushd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I've read the README file, and the only thing I saw that referenced devfs was
to make (what appeared to be) a dummy entry in fstab. I did - it made no
difference.
