[arch-general] testing/glibc 2.18-1 breaks vte

14 Aug 2013

      I am running [testing] on Arch Linux x86_64.  With the recent update
of glibc to 2.18-1, all vte-based terminals fail to start under a
non-root user.  They claim that "grantpt failed: Operation not
permitted".  Downgrading to core’s 2.17-6 restores regular
functionality.  Non-vte terminals (xterm, urxvt) are not affected by
this.

What is going on?
