Package: xterm
Version: 384-1
Severity: minor

The path to the utmp(5) file in the xterm manpage is wrong:

,----
| $ man xterm | grep -A1 /utmp
|        /etc/utmp
|             the system log file, which records user logins.
`----

That should read /var/run/utmp rather than /etc/utmp.  The minstall
script tries to detect the path to the utmp file and substitute the
correct value, but in the build chroot /var/run/utmp has apparently been
absent, as no-one has ever logged in there.
