The problem is that you don't have the PTS filesystem mounted. This should
normally be done by the mountvirtfs init script (package initscripts). Stable
doesn't have this script since it was pretty useless back when stable was
born, so I guess you'll have to see how it works or try and install it along
with its dependencies.
The relevant output of mount is:
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
devfs should theoretically handle the rest (if you have devfsd running).
