OK, I found a workaround: $ sudo apt install systemd=229-4ubuntu4 libsystemd0=229-4ubuntu4 libpam-systemd=229-4ubuntu4
Looks like it's not a coreutils nor a who issue, it's a systemd issue, perhaps related to backport, since I'm not seeing it on bionic. Of course next upgrade will break it again, until the packages are fixed.
