Bug#56893: libc6: syntax error in `/etc/init.d/devpts.sh'
Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.2-12
Severity: important
Hi,
I am submitting this bug against libc6 because that's the owner of
the `/etc/init.d/devpts.sh' file, according to dpkg,
2 jeff ~ $ dpkg -S init.d/devpts.sh
libc6: /etc/init.d/devpts.sh
anyway, here's a patch to correct the syntax error printed upon
system startup,
3 jsroot ~ # rdf /etc/init.d/devpts.sh

and, a symptom of this error is the inability to login to an xterm
as user `jsroot' which has uid=0, eg, `exec login jsroot', which
worked ok prior to this syntax error.
Thanks,
