Scott, vservers do not allow mknods for security reasons. There is infrastructrue in place to ensure only the really required devices are in /dev. Moreover, it does not really make sense to have udev manage devices in udev.
I intend to upload the atteched debdiff after the Alpha 5 freeze to intrepid. Moreover, I think this debdiff should be SRU'ed as well. Background: I maintain a number of 'hardy' vservers, and in order to work around this, I either have to manually edit the postinst, or maintain my own udev package fork. espc. for a LTS version this easy fix should really be applied. ** Attachment added: "udev.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17302596/udev.debdiff ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Reinhard Tartler (siretart) -- udev fails to install in a vserver due to /lib/udev/devices/ppp - operation not permitted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
