[Reportbug-maint] Bug#491445: reportbug: wrong permissions on /dev/* after updating debian unstable

[Stefan]

Package: reportbug
Version: 3.43
Severity: normal

After updating debian unstable (2008-07-18) on my system following
issues occurs (some examples):
* can't start gnome (only in save mode)
* can't use sound card
* can't use Pidgin OTR plugin

It looks like wrong permissions on files in /dev/.
So for example /dev/null is only read and writable for user 
and group root.
It seems that settings in /etc/udev/rules.d are correct.

I updated the system with synaptic. Updated packages since 2008-07-18 are:

After this update and a reboot the problems occurred.
I can't figured out wich of these packages are responsible
for the wrong permissions in /dev.
