Subject: Bug#4020: Base shouldn't contain /var/run/utmp

Package: base
Version: 1.1.0-14

The newest base contains a /var/run/utmp file of length 0. When upgrading
a running system, this:

- causes the list of people currently online to be lost
- makes tools like 'w' segfault until one login occurs.

Fix : remove /var/run/utmp from base.

PS Base shouldn't contain any files in /var/run, by definition.
