Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.1-16 (any version really) devfs in kernel 2.6 will not redundantly do devpts. In other words, with 2.6 it is necessary to compile in and utilise devpts as well. Currently, /etc/init.d/devpts.sh fails to capture this situation. It recognises that devfs is mounted, and decides not to configure and mount devpts, which is incorrect behaviour for 2.6. Since kernel 2.4 was the only version to have the version of devfs that also did devpts, checking for 2.4 is all that is necessary. The only issue i noticed was that xterms would fail to start, citing failure to open a tty. The changes i made to devpts.sh fixed my problem. Patch attached.
