I noticed a problem with the procps package. I changed my
system to use /dev/pts, but ps now shows '?' instead of pts/*
in TTY field. I have procps-1.2.9.slp package installed, but
ps -V told me what it is version 1.2.7. We need new procps
package, right?
I should probably submit this as a bug report, but I'm lazy
and also I don't like that web stuff, filling the forms and
putting IMHO unneeded info there (like how much disk space
left on my system, etc.).
