this is due to wrong packaging: this program packager[1] should never had packaged /dev/* entries in the first place. these are provided by the makedev package and are overided by the kernel for most people since they use devfs. hence the error you got since one cannot create device on devfs mounted /dev. > Any knows how to fix this problem (I've googled a bit and apparently > it's MDK problem) but I couldn't find a fix. mkdir /root/root mount --bind / /root/root mount --bind /root/root/dev /dev #install the mispackaged program umount /dev umount /root/root or simpler : mkdir /dev.devfs #install the mispackaged program mount --move /dev.devfs /dev [1] where does this package come from?
