# apt -f install ... P: Checking for EXTLINUX directory... found. P: Saving old mbr... done: /boot/mbr-sda1.old P: Writing new mbr... done: /dev/sda1 P: Installing EXTLINUX... extlinux: cannot find device for path /boot/extlinux extlinux: cannot open device (null) dpkg: error processing package syslinux-stuff (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 So it seems /usr/bin/extlinux has a similar problem with the detection of my root device (/dev/root alias /dev/sda1). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
