Public bug reported:
lxcControllerRun() is calling virFileOpenTtyAt() with a slave opened on
/the/container/chroot/dev/pts. While it is not documented in the
manpages, glibc's grantpt does a first check (ensuring that the passed
in fd is a pty slave) with '/dev/pts' as the hardcoded path, appending
the pty#.
lxcControllerRun always calls this on the first slave opened after
creating the new /dev/pts, so grantpt is always checking /dev/pts/0.
Therefore, if your host does not have /dev/pts/0 (easy to reproduce
using screen), then grantpt will fail, and the container creation will
subsequently also fail.
