The “last” command is not found on Plucky 25.04:

last me
Could not find command-not-found database. Run 'sudo apt update' to populate it.
last: command not found

apt policy command-not-found

  Installed: 23.04.0

This is needed or was on 24.10 24.04 and below:

apt policy util-linux

Kernel in use:
uname -r
6.11.0-8-generic

Before I file a bug I would like to see other comments first.

Yes I know there is other methods to call logins but I’m more interested in the “last command” failure.

@popey are you using 25.04?

I forgot to show that:

apt policy wtmpdb
wtmpdb:
  Installed: 0.13.0-1

@halogen2 thanks for the reply though.

Just for S&G’s I reinstalled it:

sudo apt install --reinstall  wtmpdb

Now working:

last me

I’ll mark yours as the Solution, but I can’t figure why it broke in the first place.
The Joys of testing…LOL

@1fallen No, not installed. But I was not on the latest daily build.

As mentioned, it is now in universe.
