Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mountall

After an update this evening (last update was 2009-10-02) ssh failed to
access the box, returning this error:

br...@chideok:~$ ssh -x 192.168.1.157
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Connection to 192.168.1.157 closed.

It turned out that /dev/pts was missing.  I was able to work around the
problem by creating it manually:

 sudo mkdir /dev/pts
 sudo mount -t devpts -o gid=5,mode=620 devpts /dev/pts

$ mount
/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,relatime)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc 
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
