I modified minstall.sh to update the manpage to use values that it
derives from the current system.

Obviously I only notice this after uploading the updated package, but
minstall.sh doesn't look for utmp in /var/run, which is its location
according to the FHS (which Debian mostly follows):
http://pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARRUNRUNTIMEVARIABLEDATA

Could you add that path in the next release?

Oh, and I don't quite understand why UTMP_NAME is set to utmp22 instead
of plain "utmp".

:-(

A scripting error.  Will fix.

thanks
