Comment 12 for bug 321927

There is no splashy or any other shmfs on my system so that is not the cause.

What is strange that /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh which should mount those, does nothing when called, even if manual mount /dev/pts succeeds. I think when I tried to see why, the code

        if mountpoint -q "$MTPT"
        then
                return # Already mounted
        fi

would return from /lib/init/mount-functions.sh and thus not do anything, although the directory exists and the two filesystems are not mounted. Probably some permissions are wrong?

As I have said earlier, this behaviour was introduced by udev 137 or 136 and everything worked if I downgraded to the version from intrepid (124-something), not touching any other packages.
