Okay, you upgraded to potato, yes? And you have a kernel with UNIX 98
ptys? dpkg reports:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dpkg -S devpts.sh
libc6: /etc/init.d/devpts.sh
So, I can't address why you don't have it. First, check that you have
/dev/pts/, /dev/ptmx/, /dev/pty* . If yes, try doing something like:
$ mount -t devpts -o gid=5,mode=620 /dev/pts none
If that doesn't work, but you have a kernel with UNIX98 ptys, try
$ cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV -n update | less
this will tell you what devices MAKEDEV would create/recreate based on
what it finds in /proc. You may need to run this to update your
devices (probably a good idea anyway).
Hope this gets you a little farther along.
