It should depend on udev and makedev. That's not supposed to be necessary, according to the udev maintainer, who requested the dependency change on powermgmt-base. I've sent him email asking him to clarify, and CC'd him to this message. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
