Indeed backing up selinux-revalidate-access-to-controlling-tty.patch
fixed "less" problem. But some other problems remain and the real
issue is /dev/tty is a directory now! :


cartman@southpark:~$ ls -al /dev/tty
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root     0 2004-08-18 00:52 ./
drwxr-xr-x  15 root root     0 2004-08-17 21:53 ../

crw-------   1 root root 3,  7 2004-08-18 00:52 s7
crw-------   1 root root 3,  8 2004-08-18 00:52 s8
crw-------   1 root root 3,  9 2004-08-18 00:52 s9


And this breaks many applications. Any idea why /dev/tty is a directory now?
