[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#669651: login: failing to update utmp at console.

[Mats Erik Andersson]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.1.5-1
Severity: serious

The recent update of 'login' is no longer able to
make an entry in "/var/run/utmp" for any user logging
in via a virtual terminal, i.e., text console, on my
linux-i386 system. Downgrading to 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-3
restores this vital element of system management.

Please, take care to examine effects on WTMP and UTMP
also for text consoles henceforth. I have repaired some
terminal emulators myself, but "login" must never be
misbehaving.

Best regards,
  Mats Erik Andersson, DM
