Bug#492954: aptitude: weird message about gpmctl in syslog

2008-07-30 Thread Miles Bader
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.8-1
Severity: minor


After starting aptitude in a screen terminal, I get the following
wacky messages in /var/log/syslog:


   Jul 30 15:56:46 catnip aptitude: *** info 
   Jul 30 15:56:46 catnip aptitude: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory
   Jul 30 15:56:46 catnip aptitude: *** info 
   Jul 30 15:56:46 catnip aptitude: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory
   Jul 30 15:56:46 catnip aptitude: *** err 
   Jul 30 15:56:46 catnip aptitude: Oh, oh, it's an error! possibly I die! 


It doesn't die, though, and indeed I probably wouldn't have noticed if I
hadn't chanced to log at syslog about then...

Thanks,

-Miles
