Hi Phil. Thanks for bugreport although it's quite strange for me. Here's what I'm using in postinst: if [ -c /dev/fuse ]; then chown root:fuse /dev/fuse; fi if [ -c /dev/.static/dev/fuse ]; then chown root:fuse /dev/fuse; fi So if /dev/fuse file doesn't exist this part of code should be skipped. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.
