Bug#721080: RFS: vpcs/0.5b0-1 [ITP]
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi Juhani,
I honestly wasn't aware that version of Debian exited, till you told
me! I have setup a virtual machine to test the software under
kFreeBSD, to ensure there are no obvious bugs...
At the moment I have found a bug and have contacted the upstream
author for advice, but thought I'd ask here as well in case you know
the answer.
At line 163 [1] hv.c calls openpty. This works fine on my main
computer, but under the kFreeBSD VM it fails with the following error:
Create pseudo-terminal: No child processes
Any ideas what the problem may be?
Regards,
Daniel Lintott
