Package: udev Version: 163-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
This is more a RFC than a bug. I noticed while looking at this fuse bug[0] that the permissions on the /dev/fuse device won't get properly set until I invoke-rc.d udev reload. The problem seems to be that, even though udev does apparently reload its rules when new files are added to /lib/udev/rules.d (inotify? I didn't really check), this point in time is usually not optimal, since it happens before postinst, where packages create groups and users. The result is that we have lines like this in the log: > udevd[283]: specified group 'fuse' unknown and fuse still doesn't work. To counter this small problem, would it have any other side-effects if udev included a trigger for /lib/udev/rules.d which would reload the rules after all packages have been completely installed? IMHO that would be more elegant than making a manual reload on all other affected packages' postinsts.
