Subject: zssh won't start: "out of pty's"

Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 18:05:19 -0700

Package: zssh
Version: 1.5c.debian.1-3.2
Severity: important

zssh won't start at all when I upgrade to 1.5c.debian.1-3.2

$ zssh
out of pty's

Downgrading to 1.5c.debian.1-3.1 makes it work fine.

Hi,

I could also confirm that the latest NMU of 1.5c.debian.1-3.2 caused the
bug.

@YunQiang, any ideas?

Cheers,

Weird. I thought I had patched that bug seven years ago. Yeah, it was bug
#388036. I'll look into it again.

still the same, binary 1.5c.debian.1-3.2+b2 from the repo causes "out of
pty's" and rebuilding from source fixes. With Debian 9.

Control: tag -1 confirmed stretch buster sid
Control: severity -1 grave

This bug essentially made zssh unusable; raising the severity to "grave".

I intend to investigate into it and get the problem fixed in both buster/sid 
and stretch.

It's a pity but the problem does exist. You can install a virtual machine
using Debian 9 or Debian Testing to see if the program is actually working.

All my users reported that the problem still exists. Perhaps it was due to
binNMUs? (now its +b4 in the repository for arch:amd64)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

For what its worth, building the package from source results in a
functional binary. That makes it a bit harder to debug if its something
in the code.

On the upside, if this is just some binary/library incompatibility, the
solution might just be incrementing the version and forcing the build
system to recompile.
