Udev takes care of creating the device nodes, devs.rpm was finally dropped after 10.3. Some other rpm should probably obsolete it
So what will happen if I "rpm -e devs"? Will my system still work?
Hmm, good question. I'm afraid that rpm -e devs will remove the device nodes from /dev (even though the ones really owned by devs.rpm are hidden by the tmpfs mount on /dev). Try it and report a bug if you run into trouble ;-). You can tar up /dev before to avoid a reboot if something goes wrong.
OK, I removed the package and rebooted the system after that (I needed
to update the kernel anyway). Now all is fine.
Thanks!
