This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.408.54

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.408.54) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Revert exclusion of makedev from buildd chroots, as it turned out not to
    be the problem.  Instead, fix up /dev/ptmx to be a character device node
    rather than a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx, in line with the discussion in
    https://bugs.debian.org/817236; I think this is safer than
    cherry-picking the fix to debootstrap at this point in a stable release
    cycle (LP: #1844504).

livecd-rootfs (2.408.53) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Fix exclusion of makedev from buildd chroots; debootstrap doesn't
    respect --exclude for "Priority: required" packages, so we have to purge
    makedev later (LP: #1844504).

livecd-rootfs (2.408.52) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Exclude makedev from buildd chroots, since it was historically excluded
    and apparently breaks some builds (e.g. mir; LP: #1844504).

livecd-rootfs (2.408.51) xenial; urgency=medium

  * ubuntu-cpc: Only produce explicitly specified artifacts (LP:
#1837254)

Title:
  openpty fails in xenial buildd chroots

Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  xenial mir builds recently started failing as follows:

    https://launchpadlibrarian.net/442878565/buildlog_ubuntu-xenial-
  amd64.mir_1.4.0+dev83-g939ca20348-0ubuntu16.04_BUILDING.txt.gz

    ERROR:src/umockdev.c:4991:umockdev_testbed_create_node_for_device:
  assertion failed: (Linux.openpty (out ptym, out ptys, ptyname_array,
  null, null) == 0)

  util-linux fails similarly.

  This is because the new livecd-rootfs-built xenial buildd base images
  have the bug described in https://bugs.debian.org/817236: /dev/ptmx is
  a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx, and sbuild doesn't use the mount options
  necessary to make that usable.  The simplest solution appears to be to
  fix up /dev/ptmx in buildd images to be a character device node rather
  than a symlink (newer versions of debootstrap do that too, but that's
  a riskier change).

  [Test Case] Run a buildd image build and make sure that the resulting
  images have /dev/ptmx as a mode 666 character device node rather than
  a symlink.  Run a util-linux build with the resulting image and test
  that it works now.

  [Regression Potential] We need to make sure that buildd images are
  still buildable and keep a close eye on builds immediately after
  upgrading to new images.
