Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.227
Severity: minor
Dear Pbuilder Maintainers,
I want to rebuild locally gcc-5 and gcc-4.9 in current stretch by pbuilder.
I download the source of gcc-5 (Debian) and gcc-4.9 (from Ubuntu) and
rebuild by "sudo pbuilder build gcc-xxxxx.dsc".
But building failed with reporting:
"The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create
more."
"while executing"
"spawn ls"
I gave a try in Pbuilder with root user:
# expect -c "spawn ls"
It is OK to output "spawn ls"
But when I type above command with normal user:
rleigh@WFA256:/$ expect -c "spawn ls"
spawn ls
The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator
to create more.
while executing
"spawn ls"
rleigh@WFA256:/$
I check the /dev/pts, it was mounted in Pbuilder (with both root/normal
users):
rleigh@WFA256:/$ mount | grep pts
none on /dev/pts type devpts
(rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
root@WFA256:/# mount | grep pts
none on /dev/pts type devpts
(rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
I have same issue in sbuild if I rebuild gcc by:
$ sbuild -d stretch gcc-xxxx.dsc
But it is OK if rebuild with root user:
$ sudo sbuild -d stretch gcc-xxxx.dsc
Yes I can rebuild gcc by sudo sbuild, but I don't know what is happening in
Pbuilder or Sbuild with normal user.
Any comment or advice would be very appreciated !
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Xiangyu LIU
