Bug Description

[Impact]

As I was reporting the upstream due to issues found in verification, I found it was a regression for Ubuntu platforms.

The last command output was replaced with last -F, and hence checking the username was taken away, and hence clean no longer working.

[Test Plan]

* Once the PR is up, will create a new SRU
* Create a new PPA with the details of the commit
* Test on multiple distros and ensure that the new package will clean the username
* Report the results here.

[ Where problems could occur ]

The update will not clean the username
