Description w unruh 2021-02-22 09:23:05 CET

last is showing strange behaviour for current login. Here is an output of last

unruh    pts/1        ::1              Mon Feb 22 08:13    gone - no logout
unruh    pts/1        ::1              Mon Feb 22 08:10 - 08:12  (00:01)
unruh    pts/1        ::1              Mon Feb 22 06:21 - 06:26  (00:04)

But that first entry is the current login, and it is certainly not gone. It is what
ran last.
I got the same behaviour for that second login when I ran last in it. 

It seems to be reporting "gone" when it should be reporting something like "current" or "still active"  or as on another machine (with the same version of last and util-linux)

I see the same sort of thing on Mageia 8:
 $ last
lewis    tty1         :0               Mon Feb 22 18:45   still logged in
lewis    :0                            Mon Feb 22 18:45   still logged in
lewis    console      :0               Mon Feb 22 18:45    gone - no logout
reboot   system boot  5.10.16-desktop- Mon Feb 22 18:44   still running

This rang a bell, and turns out to be a repetition of your previous bug 27022.
So I am marking this a duplicate of that, and re-opening the original one.
