Hence removing this out of the postinst script. This should help situations when devfs is installed and /dev/ get's removed on system boot, thus /dev/xconsole gets removed as well.

Thanks to Enrik Berkhan <enrik@rzstud1.akk.org>. * Added support for TESTING define which will turn syslogd into stdio-mode used for debugging. * Reworked the initialization/fork code. Now the parent process activates a signal handler which the daughter process will raise if it is initialized. Only after that one the parent process may exit. Otherwise klogd might try to flush its log cache while syslogd can't receive the messages yet. (closes: Bug#24609) * Fixed typo in /etc/syslog.conf (closes: Bug#25835) * Modified pre- and postinst scripts to set +e before executing external scripts. This is a workaround against a bug in bash (Bug#23857). Bash exports the errexit (-e) flag if allexport (-a) has been set. The bug occurs even if allexport is being _re_set. (closes: Bug#26015) * Modified ksym::CheckVersion() . Use shift to decode the kernel version . Compare integers of kernel version . extract major.minor.patch from utsname.release via sscanf() The reason lays in possible use of kernel flavours which modify utsname.release but no the Version_ symbol. (closes: Bug#20135) * Corrected klogd.c in order to support the new address space for late 2.1 kernels. Some support for unsigned long in contrary to int was missing. (closes: Bug#23502) * Applied patch provided vom Topi Miettinen with regard to the people from OpenBSD. This provides the additional '-a' argument used for specifying additional UNIX domain sockets to listen to. This is been used with chroot()'ed named's for example. An example is described at http://www.psionic.com/papers/dns.html. Thanks to Topi Miettinen <tom@medialab.sonera.net> (closes: Bug#24893) * Added support for `ftp' log facility which was introduced by glibc version 2. Thanks to netgod and Flood from #Debian. * Code cleanups with regard to bsd -> posix transition and stronger security (buffer length checking). Thanks to Topi Miettinen <tom@medialab.sonera.net> (closes: Bug#24894) . index() --> strchr() . sprintf() --> snprintf() . bcopy() --> memcpy() . bzero() --> memset() . UNAMESZ --> UT_NAMESIZE . sys_errlist --> strerror() * Added support for setutent()/getutent()/endutend() instead of binary reading the UTMP file. This is the the most portable way. Thanks to Topi Miettinen <tom@medialab.sonera.net>. * Avoid logging of SIGCHLD when syslogd is in the process of exiting and closing its files. Again thanks to Topi. * Added /usr/sbin/syslog-facility, written by Raphaël Hertzog <hertzog@debian.org>. It opens a way for other packages to add and remove logfiles/facilities. * Modified printline() to support 8bit characters - such as russion letters.
