When you use the openpty, forkpty, or login_tty function calls but do not link to -lutil there are unresolved symbols. the openpty(3) man page does not mention this fact; it just says 'available in glibc2.' The man page for openpty(3) on Debian system says: " NOTE These functions are included in libutil, hence youâll need to add -lutil to your compiler commandline. " In my opinion this note should be added to the openpty(3) man page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. man openpty 2. 3.

hrm, in which package is openpty?
I've installed man-pages-1.61 and the information I needed is there: " NOTE These functions are included in libutil, hence you'll need to add -lutil to your compiler commandline. " This bug should be closed.
will do
