Bug#733222: qemu-system-x86: postinst script looks for update-alternatives in the wrong directory
Hi Just some additional info, after comparing other packages' maintainer scripts and seeing that all the ones I checked invoke update-alternatives without an absolute path name, I took a look at the policy and found this (ยง6.1): Programs called from maintainer scripts should not normally have a path prepended to them. Before installation is started, the package management system checks to see if the programs ldconfig, start-stop-daemon, and update- rc.d can be found via the PATH environment variable. Those programs, and any other program that one would expect to be in the PATH, should thus be invoked without an absolute pathname Maybe the best way would simply be to call update-alternatives without a prepended absolute path. regards Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: udev Version: 0.100-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 9.1 After upgrading to udev 0.100-1 and rebooting I noticed that the isdnutils init script complained that /dev/MAKEDEV could not be found. It looks like udev does not provide a MAKEDEV symlink anymore, so /dev/MAKEDEV does not exist until /etc/rc2.d/S20makedev is run. However this happens *after* /etc/rc2.d/S20isdnutils is executed. The file system hierarchy standard says: ,--- | If it is possible that devices in /dev will need to be manually | created, /dev must contain a command named MAKEDEV, which can create | devices as needed. `--- (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#DEVDEVICEFILES) The Debian Policy, chapter 9.1 says the location of all installed files and directories must comply with the FHS. regards Andreas Janssen -- Package-specific info: -- /etc/udev/rules.d/: /etc/udev/rules.d/: insgesamt 2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2006-03-02 12:40 020_permissions.rules - ../permissions.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2006-01-07 10:05 025_libgphoto2.rules - ../libgphoto2.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-08-11 20:38 025_libsane.rules - ../libsane.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2006-01-07 10:04 025_logitechmouse.rules - ../logitechmouse.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2006-08-29 09:33 libnjb.rules - ../libnjb.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2006-03-02 12:40 udev.rules - ../udev.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2006-04-06 11:36 z20_persistent-input.rules - ../persistent-input.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2006-03-02 12:40 z20_persistent.rules - ../persistent.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 929 2006-09-19 14:06 z25_persistent-cd.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 499 2006-09-19 08:42 z25_persistent-net.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2006-05-10 08:50 z45_persistent-net-generator.rules - ../persistent-net-generator.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2006-03-02 12:40 z50_run.rules - ../run.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-03-02 12:40 z55_hotplug.rules - ../hotplug.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2006-01-07 10:01 z60_alsa-utils.rules - ../alsa-utils.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2006-01-07 10:02 z60_hdparm.rules - ../hdparm.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2006-06-03 10:27 z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules - ../xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2006-09-19 08:42 z75_cd-aliases-generator.rules - ../cd-aliases-generator.rules -- /sys/: /sys/block/dm-0/dev /sys/block/dm-1/dev /sys/block/dm-2/dev /sys/block/dm-3/dev /sys/block/dm-4/dev /sys/block/dm-5/dev /sys/block/dm-6/dev /sys/block/fd0/dev /sys/block/hda/dev /sys/block/hda/hda1/dev /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev /sys/block/hda/hda3/dev /sys/block/hda/hda4/dev /sys/block/hda/hda5/dev /sys/block/hda/hda6/dev /sys/block/hda/hda7/dev /sys/block/hdc/dev /sys/block/hdd/dev /sys/block/loop0/dev /sys/block/loop1/dev /sys/block/loop2/dev /sys/block/loop3/dev /sys/block/loop4/dev /sys/block/loop5/dev /sys/block/loop6/dev /sys/block/loop7/dev /sys/block/ram0/dev /sys/block/ram10/dev /sys/block/ram11/dev /sys/block/ram12/dev /sys/block/ram13/dev /sys/block/ram14/dev /sys/block/ram15/dev /sys/block/ram1/dev /sys/block/ram2/dev /sys/block/ram3/dev /sys/block/ram4/dev /sys/block/ram5/dev /sys/block/ram6/dev /sys/block/ram7/dev /sys/block/ram8/dev /sys/block/ram9/dev /sys/class/graphics/fb0/dev /sys/class/input/input0/event0/dev /sys/class/input/input1/event1/dev /sys/class/input/input2/event2/dev /sys/class/input/input2/js0/dev /sys/class/input/input3/event3/dev /sys/class/input/input3/mouse0/dev /sys/class/input/input3/ts0/dev /sys/class/input/mice/dev /sys/class/misc/agpgart/dev /sys/class/misc/device-mapper/dev /sys/class/misc/hpet/dev /sys/class/misc/psaux/dev /sys/class/misc/rtc/dev /sys/class/printer/lp0/dev /sys/class/sound/admmidi/dev /sys/class/sound/adsp/dev /sys/class/sound/amidi/dev /sys/class/sound/audio/dev /sys/class/sound/controlC0/dev /sys/class/sound/dmmidi/dev /sys/class/sound/dsp/dev /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/dev /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/dev /sys/class/sound/midiC0D0/dev /sys/class/sound/midiC0D1/dev /sys/class/sound/midiC0D2/dev /sys/class/sound/midi/dev /sys/class/sound/mixer/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D1c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D2c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D2p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D3p/dev /sys/class/sound/seq/dev /sys/class/sound/sequencer2/dev /sys/class/sound/sequencer/dev /sys/class/sound/timer/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev1.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev2.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev3.1/dev -- Kernel configuration: -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (1001, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages udev depends on: ii libc62.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1
Bug#388300: udev does not provide/create /dev/MAKEDEV symlink
After being notificated of Bug #370540 (could fail gracefully
if /dev/MAKEDEV exists), I took a look at the udev init script. The
function for creating /dev/MAKEDEV (line 45) says:
[ ! -e /dev/MAKEDEV ] || ln -s /sbin/MAKEDEV /dev/MAKEDEV
This will quit if MAKEDEV does not exist, but not create it. Please
change it to:
[ ! -e /dev/MAKEDEV ] ln -s /sbin/MAKEDEV /dev/MAKEDEV
or to
[ -e /dev/MAKEDEV] || ln -s /sbin/MAKEDEV /dev/MAKEDEV
