Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-11
The current /etc/init.d/devpts contains lines like:
devpts_avail=`grep -qci '[<[:space:]]devpts' /proc/filesystems || true`
But grep -qci never gives any output, it simply returns true (if a
line was found) or false (if not). So this will always set
devpts_avail to empty, which isn't very useful. Better ways of doing
this, while still always being true, would be:
devpts_avail=`grep -ci '[<[:space:]]devpts' /proc/filesystems || true`
(remove the -q option), or
devpts_avail=`grep -i '[<[:space:]]devpts' /proc/filesystems | wc -l`
(pipe to wc). The latter has the possible advantage that if
/proc/filesystems is unavailable or something like that, set -e will
kill the script.
