[Bug 632527] Re: Konsole shells not registering users in utmp

[Andrey Bondarenko]

I did some research. The cause is in the package kdelib5. The library libkpty.so 
does not write records into utmp if libutempter-dev was not installed at compile
time (see kpty.cpp):

#ifdef HAVE_UTEMPTER
    Q_D(KPty);

    addToUtmp(d->ttyName, remotehost, d->masterFd);
    Q_UNUSED(user);
#else

Rebuilding kdelibs5_4.4.2-0ubuntu4 with installed libutempter-dev fixes
the issue. Konsle sessions will appear in who output, as it should be.

I propose to add libutempter-dev to build dependencies of kde4libs
package.
