If `setterm -dump` fails because of lack of permission to read /dev/vcsa, it should not report that it couldn't read /dev/vcsa0. This could be misleading if there is only /dev/vcsa, but not /dev/vcsa0. Before: $ ./setterm -dump setterm: Couldn't read /dev/vcsa0 After: $ ./setterm -dump setterm: Couldn't read neither /dev/vcsa0 nor /dev/vcsa (Note: /dev/vcsa0 does not exist and the user does not have read permission on /dev/vcsa in this case).
