Bug#57580: postinst fails
Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.3-1
Severity: important
# dpkg --pending --configure
Setting up libc6 (2.1.3-1) ...
Current default timezone: 'America/New_York'.
Local time is now: Tue Feb 8 16:16:59 EST 2000.

Run 'tzconfig' if you wish to change it.
mount: devpts already mounted or /dev/pts busy
mount: according to mtab, /devpts is already mounted on /dev/pts
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 32
I installed the new version of /etc/init.d/devpts.sh, so that's not the
problem.
On my system,
% mount | grep devpts
/devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
%
Note the initial /. Shouldn't the devpts_mounted check in devpts.sh be
'^/devpts'? If I make this change myself, everything seems to work
correctly. Is it normal for that slash to be there?
