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, 10 2004-08-18 00:52 s
crw------- 1 root root 3, 0 2004-08-18 00:52 s0
crw------- 1 root root 3, 1 2004-08-18 00:52 s1
crw------- 1 root root 3, 2 2004-08-18 00:52 s2
crw------- 1 root root 3, 3 2004-08-18 00:52 s3
crw------- 1 root root 3, 4 2004-08-18 00:52 s4
crw------- 1 root root 3, 5 2004-08-18 00:52 s5
crw------- 1 root root 3, 6 2004-08-18 00:52 s6
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?
