the file /etc/init.d/devpts.sh in the new libc6 on unstable has a
syntax error that halts installation.  I changed an unbalanced left
"{" near the top of the file to "}" and the installation proceeded
fine.  

>make_devpts()
>{
>    [ -d /dev/pts ] || mkdir --mode=755 /dev/pts
>{
 ^ 
This bracket should be a right bracket "}".
