Package: udev
Version: 0.060-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello Marco,
the function make_extra_nodes() in /etc/init.d/udev is only executed
properly when the current working directory is '/'. This is just due to
a missing slash on checking for /etc/udev/links.conf (in the script this
is etc/udev/links.conf). Somehow *some*, but not all of our clients
therefor don't execute this function. It seems all version of udev,
including sarge, are affected.
Cheers,
Bernd
