This, in turn, causes the "ubuntu-minimal" package installation to fail. The package cannot be removed, because other packages such as "upstart" depend on it. Therefore, makedev should either be uninstallable or ignore permission errors when being installed in a vserver. Output of apt-get install: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 2 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
