I have created a 'wishlist' bug in the Debian BTS to reinstate these tools in an optional package:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1095490 But this will _not_ solve the question of tracking failed logins because they are not likely to get stored in the old files in future, so this would only help for querying OLD log files. I think we are advised to look in other log files to track failed logins and indeed that btmp wasn't a reliable way of tracking all failed authentication attempts anyway. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #1095490 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1095490 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2084854 Title: last and lastb missing in 24.10 Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The last and lastb commands have disappeared from util-linux at 24.10! This is odd, as the binaries from 24.04 actually run on 24.10, so the data is clearly still being collected and in the same format. Ubuntu: 24.10 (Oracular Oriole).
