Severity: normal
See /usr/doc/kernel-package/Flavours.gz for a description of flavours.
My kernelversion (uname -r) is "2.2.14-reiserfs-3.5.18", and devpts.sh
does not recognize it as a 2.2 kernel so /dev/pts does not get mounted.
The following patch solves the problem:

The trick is not to chop at the last dot but after the second dot, so it
doesn't matter how many dots you have in your kernelversion.
Your 'case' construct also seems to break at higher kernelversions like 2.10.*,
4.*, 10.*. Won't it be enough to rely entirely on the value of $solution?
