[Lxc-users] Setting up tty correctly / Correctly handling system upgrades

[Andreas Feldner]

Hi Daniel,

the /dev/console definition was confused with what is actually the /dev/ptmx definition, and the /dev/tty definition was lacking altogether.

And with the new version util-linux, indeed system updates are working again!

Thanks a lot!

Andreas.
