Hi Colin,

util-linux 2.40.1-3 will, as part of moving last to src:wtmpdb, also
stop installing lastb(1).
wtmpdb provides no replacement for lastb.

Please disable writing /var/log/btmp.

While openssh-server can continue writing that file, AFAIK nothing will
be left to read it.

I didn't understand this was part of the upstream changes until now,
sorry.

Thanks,
Chris
