Package: util-linux
Version: 2.40.2-11
Severity: normal
Since the removal of /usr/bin/mesg from util-linux, I now see the
following:
euler:~ $ su -
Password:
Command 'mesg' not found, did you mean:
command 'dmesg' from deb util-linux
Try: apt install <deb name>
euler:~ #
I don't know where the mesg call is coming from or how to stop this
warning.
Best wishes,
Julian
