What I am saying is that you make no distinction between build environment and deployment environment. Quite a few users build their Gentoo systems in a chroot. In that case, whole /dev, or its portions (including /dev/pts) can be bind-mounts from the host filesystem, and /dev/pts does not need to have the correct permissions. However, you *would* see such a bind-mount as a devpts mount in /proc/mounts. So why not print a warning — what's the point of dying in pkg_preinst? -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte
