Package: screen Version: 4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
screen is patched to check terminal it is starting on (debian/patches/47screen- cc.patch) Terminal device is required to be a normal character device, but it is not always the case. E. g. on illumos/solaris /dev/console is a symbolic link to /devices/pseudo/cn@0:console I'm attaching a patch which adjusts the check for symlinks. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages screen depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libtinfo5 5.9-10 screen recommends no packages.

Description: /dev/console may be a symlink See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/01/msg00576.html In case of SunOS kernel (illumos) it is not possible for a device file to have st_nlink != 1, so do not bother with "/devices/" Index: screen/tty.sh =================================================================== --- screen.orig/tty.sh 2013-01-27 02:16:57.916935245 +0000 +++ screen/tty.sh 2013-01-27 02:33:12.831241123 +0000 @@ -1506,11 +1506,21 @@ char *tty; { struct stat st; + char * real; + int rc; - if (lstat(tty, &st) || !S_ISCHR(st.st_mode) || - (st.st_nlink > 1 && strncmp(tty, "/dev/", 5))) + real = realpath(tty, NULL); + if (!real) return -1; - return 0; + + if (lstat(real, &st) || !S_ISCHR(st.st_mode) || + (st.st_nlink > 1 && strncmp(real, "/dev/", 5))) + rc = -1; + else + rc = 0; + + free(real); + return rc; } /*
