Those messages are definitely noisy and suspicious during the libsane package upgrade. I haven't noticed any operational problem (yet), but it must be said that: * I have just upgraded libsane * I haven't used my scanner yet * I am not sure about the use of those sg* device files (are they SCSI-related? if this is the case, I won't probably see anything wrong anyway because my scanner is not a SCSI one...) * I am not sure I understand the usefulness of creating device files in /dev/.static/dev/, when udev is active (is it just a way to make install scripts happy, or do files under /dev/.static/dev/ really have some use?) Breaking news!!! I've just found out bug #481559 and remembered that I upgraded udev from version 0.114-2 to version 0.125-6 only recently (since I was waiting for a RC bug to be fixed). I had not yet rebooted, hence I still had /dev/.static/dev/ mounted read-only, when upgrading libsane. After a reboot, I no longer have /dev/.static/dev/ and libsane postinst script seems to be much happier: # /var/lib/dpkg/info/libsane.postinst configure .udevdb or .udev presence implies active udev. Aborting MAKEDEV invocation. # echo $? 0 P.S.: I am Cc:ing the bug submitter, maybe he also had udev <= 0.114-2 installed at the time of his latest reboot, when he submitted this bug report...
