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In Debian, utmp has been replaced by systemd/logind.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."
