But I _do_ have a /dev/tty and it _can_ be opened. From a more recent

Setting up openoffice.org-bin (1.1.3-9sarge3) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Readline
debconf: (This frontend requires a controlling tty.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Teletype
root# ls -l /dev/tty
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 Mar 21 2005 /dev/tty
root# echo spong > /dev/tty
spong
root# read x < /dev/tty
foobar
root# echo $x
foobar
