You might also be hitting #1108549 [1] (the second issue, not the crash issue) fixed at [2]. This is because the information is being held by elogind but it always returns false for sd_booted() However I noted you said you made an empty utmp file so it might be that nothing is updating it. - Craig 1: https://bugs.debian.org/1108549 2: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/commit/678b099c9fd12109469be234281c8b4e2a382757
