Is there a reason libvirt does not create /dev/tty in a LXC container ?
You're not mentioning what version of libvirt you're using. This was

LXC: Create /dev/tty within a container
Many applications use /dev/tty to read from stdin.
e.g. zypper on openSUSE.
Let's create this device node to unbreak those applications.
As /dev/tty is a synonym for the current controlling terminal
it cannot harm the host or any other containers.

Available in release 1.1.1 or later.
