Package: vmdebootstrap
Version: 0.2-2
Severity: normal
Dear Neil, Lars, and Antonio,
When trying to build a Freedom-Maker [0] image with buildbot, the image
fails to build without access to `/dev/tty` [1]. If necessary, the
buildbot instructions can be provided. The `/dev/tty` access is
unnecessary and the attached patch allows builds to complete
successfully.
Thanks for your time,
Nick
