Package: coreutils Version: 9.4-3.1 Severity: normal I heavily use the Linux virtual terminals, usually I'm logged in in about 8-10 of them.

Calling who yields:
helge@twentytwo:~$ who
helge@twentytwo:~$
The man page claims:
DESCRIPTION
Print information about users who are currently logged in.
So either who is wrong or the man page.
I'm pretty sure who worked also in this case in bookworm (however, I
cannot test).
Now, after additionally logging in in X, I get:
helge@twentytwo:~$ who

However, these entries are the list of all X terminals, which are
no individual logins (these xterms do not run the bash login scripts,
contrary to the one in each Linux virtual terminal).
