There is a bug in the script. It's already been filed and it's easy to
fix. There's a mismatched "{" in the file for the make_devpts()
function. Just changed the "{" to a "}" at the end of that function
and it'll fix it.
For further details and a patch see Bug #56687 via the Debian bug
tracking system on the web.
