Comment 3 for bug 204108

I have a VPS with Hardy installed, and updating it I suddenly got

sh: /dev/null: Permission denied

from the Postgres install. From a different ticket it was said that this was the issue, but in that case it should have been fixed in my install too? The most recent udev (according to apt) was installed.

Description: rule-based device node and kernel event manager
 udev is a collection of tools and a daemon to manage events received from
 the kernel and deal with them in user-space. Primarily this involves
 creating and removing device nodes in /dev when hardware is discovered or
 removed from the system.
 .
 Events are received via kernel netlink messaged and processed according to
 rules in /etc/udev/rules.d, altering the name of the device node, creating
 additional symlinks or calling other tools and programs including those to
 load kernel modules and initialise the device.
