I am trying to use chroots under lxc for development. I have enabled the "nesting" option in the lxc container configuration and bound mounted proc and devpts into my chroot as I would if the chroots were on a normal Linux box.

Unfortunately when I try and use stuff in the chroot that needs ptys (for example the "script" command) I get errors like

root@manualdev:~# chroot /chroots/jessie-staging/
root@manualdev:/# script
script: openpty failed: No such file or directory
Terminated
root@manualdev:/#
