Control: reassign -1 base-files Control: retitle -1 base-files Obsolete file /var/log/lastlog
Hello maintainers of base-files,This bug report has moved between various packages, but I think that 'base-files' is now the correct location.
Could you remove the creation of the obsoleted file '/var/log/lastlog' from the postinst?
