Bug#1042767: xterm: wrong path to utmp file in manpage
Package: xterm
Version: 384-1
Severity: minor
The path to the utmp(5) file in the xterm manpage is wrong:
,----
| $ man xterm | grep -A1 /utmp
| /etc/utmp
| the system log file, which records user logins.
`----
That should read /var/run/utmp rather than /etc/utmp. The minstall
script tries to detect the path to the utmp file and substitute the
correct value, but in the build chroot /var/run/utmp has apparently been
absent, as no-one has ever logged in there.
