Then I am not sure what to make of this openpty failure. I only see this message when I use aptitude in a chroot and there it seems to be harmless. > >> (Reading database ... 115963 files and directories currently installed.) > >> Preparing to replace xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12 (using > >> .../xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.4.1~git20080517-1_i386.deb) ... > >> Unpacking replacement xserver-xorg-core ... > >> dpkg: error processing > >> /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.4.1~git20080517-1_i386.deb > >> (--unpack): > >> unable to create `./usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so': No such file or > >> directory > >> dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) [ snip: We verified that there is enough space on left on the root partition. /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so does not exist so far; I am not sure if that is OK.
