Package: screader
Version: 1.8-7
Severity: grave

screader fails to start with error message "No more PTYs." and later "Sorry, could not find a PTY." To see why it is happening, I ran it under strace, which revealed that it tries to open legacy BSD pseudoterminals devices:

4392  open("/dev/ptyq0", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
4392  open("/dev/ptyq1", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
4392  open("/dev/ptyq2", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
4392  open("/dev/ptyq3", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
[... and so on ...]

Debian Linux kernels stopped supporting BSD pseudoterminals in 2007.
