Package: login
Version: 1:4.16.0-2+really2.41-5
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The login package, run through /bin/login (or /usr/bin/login) does not prompt 
for the username/password.

Steps to reproduce
1. In the tty, run /bin/login (or /usr/bin/login).

Expected Behaviour
1. The `/bin/login` command should prompt for the username and the password.

Actual Behaviour
1. The command fails and does not show the login prompt.

Additional Information
1. After running this, $? shows 1, indicating an error.
2. Running `sudo /bin/login` shows 'Hangup'. On older versions of Debian 
(<=12), this prompted for credentials.
3. Running `/bin/login` without superuser privileges does nothing.
4. journalctl for tty shows "FATAL: /dev/tty1: change permissions failed. 
Operation not permitted."
