Details

Description:
In recent kernels (from 4.7-rc2) the config option "CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES" is no longer existent due to the fact that each devpts mount is now an independent filesystem.
A patch has also been submitted to kernel.org for removal of all instances of this config:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/20/196

Additional info:
lxc version:
lxc-1:2.0.1-1

$ uname -r
4.7.0-rc4-ARCH-00038-gfdfec6b
$ lxc-checkconfig | grep pts
Multiple /dev/pts instances: missing

Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot a kernel newer than 4.7-rc1
2. Run lxc-checkconfig
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  also latest version reports nothing about pts.

Sounds harmless. And an upstream issue, not a packaging issue.

Should at least be kept on the bug tracker so the issue is documented.

That's up to the maintainer. Personally, I would close it as "upstream"

Report it to them if you want it fixed.

Alright then, you can close it.
