Package: wtmpdb
Version: 0.12.0-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hello Chris,
thanks for maintaining this package, which ships command 'last' (as a
symlink).
I installed it on a number of amd64 Debian boxes, without any major
issue.
Then I installed it on the i386 Debian box described below:
# aptitude install wtmpdb
[...]
# exit
Right after having installed it, I have again logged in (through ssh) and:
$ last
$USER ssh $REMOTE_IP Thu Jan 1 02:11 - still logged in
reboot system boot 6.9.9-686 Thu Jan 1 02:11 - still running
/var/lib/wtmpdb/wtmp.db begins Thu Jan 1 02:11:34 1970
Dates and times seem to be completely wrong, but the system clock is OK:
$ date -R
Sat, 20 Jul 2024 16:52:00 +0200
What is funny (or maybe not?!?) is that it seems that it reads all timestamp
as a fixed value. If I log out and then back in, I get:
$ last
$USER ssh $REMOTE_IP Thu Jan 1 02:11 - still logged in
$USER ssh $REMOTE_IP Thu Jan 1 02:11 - 02:11 (00:00)
reboot system boot 6.9.9-686 Thu Jan 1 02:11 - still running
/var/lib/wtmpdb/wtmp.db begins Thu Jan 1 02:11:34 1970
In other words, wtmpdb seems to think that everything happens "compressed"
in a single instant at 02:11:34 of January, the 1st, 1970, as in some weird
sci-fi story! ;-)
Other tools seem to be well aware that we are not living in that weird
sci-fi universe:
$ who
$USER pts/0 2024-07-20 17:09 ($REMOTE_IP)
There must be some bug related with the time_t reading, maybe related to
the fact that i386 has been [excluded] from the 64-bit time_t transition,
thus remaining with the 32-bit time_t...
[excluded]: <https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time#Decision>
Please fix this bug and/or forward the bug report upstream, as
appropriate.
Thanks for your time (or for your time_t !!!).
P.S.: I would like to see this bug fixed before Thu Jan 1 02:11:34 1970
;-p
