I just upgraded my system to glibc6, and it went smoothly for the most
part. I used autoup and followed the instructions in the Mini-HOWTO. I
am pretty much running as usual, but xterm doesn't work anymore, so I have
to use rxvt. I'm having trouble figuring out the problem.
I reinstalled xbase and all of the libraries that seemed relevant, but
that didn't help. Here is the output of 'ldd /usr/openwin/bin/xterm':
libXaw.so.6 => /usr/openwin/lib/libXaw.so.6 (0x4000c000)
libXmu.so.6 => /usr/openwin/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x40044000)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
and here's the tail of 'strace xterm':
chown("/dev/ttyp5", 0, 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not
permitted)
chown("/dev/ptyp5", 0, 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not
permitted)
chmod("/dev/ttyp5", 0666) = -1 EPERM (Operation not
permitted)
chmod("/dev/ptyp5", 0666) = -1 EPERM (Operation not
permitted)
_exit(0) = ?
Any clues? Thanks in advance.
