Subject: policycoreutils: The error message on forkpty() failure is not clear or useful.
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 09:40:58 -0500

Hi,

        This has been reported against the Debian BTS.

        The current error message when forkpty() fails is not clear or
 useful. (Arguably, the erro message in the child branch cold also be
 improved)  The following patch makes indicate what went wrong.  Probably
 something better than this could be devised, but this is still a lot
 better than the current code.
