That condition is not true in all cases. If you want use libraw1394, it is necessary to create /dev/raw1394 in all cases (in a native system or in a chroot). libraw1394 need makedev or udev. If udev is not installed, normaly, makedev is installed by default. I don't know why udev is not active is a chroot, you may ask that to Marco d'Itry, the udev's maintainer, but it must be active, else libraw1394 will not work. I think this is not a solution to make conditions in my postinst because if /dev/MAKEDEV is not found, /dev/raw1394 won't be create and libraw1394 won't work. Regards -- .---.

retitle 429437 /dev/MAKEDEV does not exist in a chroot when udev does not run severity 429437 wishlist thanks Hi Kel, On Tue, Jun 19, 2007 at 06:17:14PM +1000, Kel Modderman wrote: On Tue, 19 Jun 2007 08:38:30 am Ludovic RESLINGER wrote: It is not a solution to apply your patch because if /dev/MAKEDEV doesn't exist, /dev/raw1394 won't be created and libraw1394 won't work.

That condition is not true in all cases. Not necessarily, as you are using a chroot, the makedev package is present inside by default just after debootstrapping. It also provides a symlink from /dev/MAKEDEV to /sbin/MAKEDEV created by its init script which is called by its postinst maintainer script. To wit, makedev and udev conflict, so you have to make a choice. If you choose to use udev in a chroot, you *have* to run it, otherwise /dev/MAKEDEV will not exist and hence libraw1394 is bound to fail without the raw1394 character device. Silently hiding the non-creation of /dev/raw1394 is a bug and I advise the maintainer not to do so. If you do not want to run udev in your chroot, please choose makedev instead. Cheers, -- .''`.

You should not make assumption on wheter the buildd uses udev or whatever. This is an RC bug and need immediate fix. If nobodies shows up to fix it instead of fighting to guess the severity, I'll do the fix myself. Please not that any good patch is 4 lines long, and you would have used 10x less time to make the fix than to argue about the severity.

Hello, I need to know if you use makedev or udev. If you use makedev, /dev/MAKEDEV shoud be a symlink on /sbin/MAKEDEV (used in last version of the package). I verified before to make the changes in libraw1394-8.postinst file, this symlink exist on actual Debian SID with makedev. If you use udev, /dev/MAKEDEV should be a symling on /bin/true, so if you use udev, this file shoud be exist too. I don't understand why MAKEDEV is not in your /dev directory, this file should exist. I need more infos to solve this problem and I don't think that your patch is the solution. Regards -- .---.

I should have said: In the chroot, at the time libraw1394-8.postinst was called, udev was installed but inactive due to the fact that it detects it was installed in a chroot in udev.postinst and is no-op. This means that udev does not provide /dev/MAKEDEV in a chroot. There exist only a minimal static /dev at that time. Kel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
