Fwd: [openwrt/packages] coreutils-who: not returning any useful output (Issue #21548)

[Peter Smode]

I was referred to you in this thread from the OpenWRT project. The who utility 
is not returning any useful information. Follow up by Georgi Valkov is in the 
email below, as is the link the the thread on GitHub. Georgi confirmed the 
fault is present in several versions, going back to 8.32-6. My original report 
follows:

 

Environment: (x86, 64, OpenWrt v 22.03.05)

Description:
coreutils-who v9.0-2 appears to be non-functional in my environment. Executing 
the command who by itself or with "-a" returns no output at all. Adding -H or 
-Hl will return the column headings, but no data beyond that. -q returns a 
blank line, then "# users=0"

@psmode <https://github.com/psmode> 
I reproduced the behaviour you described on the following versions of 
coreutils-who: 9.3-1 9.2-1 9.1-1 9.0-2 9.0-1 8.32-6. I am not able to go back 
in time before version 8.32-6 using simple git revert.
Platforms tested: x64 and WRT3200ACM. OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r22888-86adc89390.

coreutils-who-9.3 on macOS Ventura 13.4.1 (c) (22F770820d) works fine, except 
for -Hl which prints only the title row.
coreutils-who-8.32 on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS kernel 5.15.0-76 works fine.

Did any previous version of coreutils-who work in the past on OpenWRT?
