Package: udev
Version: 0.125-6
Severity: normal
Since way back in the mists of time, /dev/tape has been a symlink
pointing to the device file for the default tape drive. Now without
warning, /dev/tape has changed: it's now a directory of symlinks to
tape devices.
This change has broken all of my backup scripts that assume /dev/tape.
Maybe more important, it has also broken /bin/mt (from the mt-st
package), which assumes /dev/tape as its tape device, based on the
value of DEFTAPE in /usr/include/sys/mtio.h.
I suppose that we can all change our scripts and adapt to this change,
but I don't see why it was necessary at all. Couldn't the new
directory of symlinks have been named /dev/tapes?
Thanks,
Andrew.

Description:
mt-st - Linux SCSI tape driver aware magnetic tape control (aka mt)
Closes: 499152
Changes:
mt-st (1.1-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Document that udev has invalidated both glibc and kernel
documentation by changing the /dev/tape symlink into a
directory. Talk about backwards-compatible changes.
As there's no sensible default left, this is all I can do.
Closes: #499152.
* Minor packaging cleanup changes.
