Package: screen Version: 4.9.1-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: celel...@gmail.com
Dear maintainer, It looks like debian is moving away from using utmp file y2038 compliance reasons. And it looks like systemd pushes for wtmpdb instead. https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time The file /var/run/utmp used to be created by systemd, but the service systemd-update-utmp is no longer shipped with the systemd package version 256.7-2. Search for "utmp" in the changelog for a short history: https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/s/systemd/changelog-256.7-2 The lack of utmp file produces the following message every time a shell is closed: Utmp slot not found -> not removed Screen relies on libutempter to update the utmp database. I don't know if Screen should be updated to use libwtmpdb instead of libutempter or if libutempter should be updated to wrap libwtmpdb. In any case, something should be done as to not break the login logging feature that some people or programs might rely on. As a temporary workaround for people who merely want to remove this message, adding the config "deflogin off" in ~/.screenrc should be enough.
