kpackagekit problem

[John Pierce]

Hello list members!

Each time I try to add or remove programs with kpackagekit I get the
following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last): File
"/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/daemonBackend.py", line
109, in run threading.Thread.run(self) File

master_fd, slave_name = _open_terminal() File
"/usr/lib/python2.6/pty.py", line 70, in _open_terminal raise
os.error, 'out of pty devices' OSError: out of pty devices

This is an upgraded system from 8.04 to 9.04.

Also, if I use apt-get install it works, but I get an error stating
that "cannot write log (/dev/pts not mounted" or something like that.
