The output from which part of the command?
The output I get from this command is a single number.
If I drop the '| wc -l' from the end, the output I get appears to be
exactly the same as the output from just running 'who' by itself.

I don't get this.
What version of who are you running?
That is:
* What does 'who --version' say?
* What does 'apt-cache policy coreutils' say? (who is normally part of
coreutils.)
On my system:
$ type who
who is /usr/bin/who
$ dlocate /usr/bin/who | grep /who$
coreutils: /usr/bin/who
$ who --version
who (GNU coreutils) 8.26

The first thing to do is figure out what changed and why. Once we know
that, we can start pursuing ways to find something that will work now.
