Package: xterm
Version: 406-1
Severity: normal
In Debian, utmp has been replaced by systemd/logind. But xterm
sessions do not appear in loginctl output. This is needed for
"wall" to work in Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1115259#10
"wall is built with systemd/logind support, the modern replacement
for utmp.
Make sure your sessions are listed in `loginctl` output (with a
TTY). If they are not, make sure you have libpam-systemd installed
and systemd-logind is running."
