beep (1.4.3-2) unstable; urgency=high From version 1.4.3 on the debconf handling got removed. The beep binary won't get installed suid root anymore. It ships now a udev rule instead that gives local users access to use beep. Remote users won't be able to use it. You might need to reload the kernel module after installing the package for it to work. -- Rhonda D'Vine Thu, 14 Feb 2019 14:08:13 +0100
