Something like the following could be an improvement to the error
message, though I can't think of a portable way to determine if forkpty
is looking for /dev/pts and a devpts filesystem, so that a hint could
also be added to the error message.
Did mounting devpts on /dev/pts fix the problem?
I can reproduce the problem inside a chroot without /dev/pts mounted.
Once I mount /dev/pts the error is gone.
I'd say lets go with the patch.
