The problem is that you have no utmp entry on the pty you're using.
Let me guess, you're using color-xterm. color-xterm is broken
(i.e. it isn't suid root and wants to write to /etc/utmp) and
won't write a utmp entry. Try building the package from a true console,
and this will work.

report a bug on the libg++ package and generate the necessary dependency 
by hand until the bug is fixed.
