Public bug reported:
We occassionally receive package installation failures with
DpkgTerminalLog files that contain the following:
Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)
Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)
These messages are from apt (apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc) and indicate a
failure to openpty. This then results in an apport-package bug report
that is lacking enough information for us to do anything about.
These should either not be reported anymore or we figure out how to make
apt more informative or why /dev/pts is not accessible.
An example bug report can be found in bug 1048012.
