* Description of problem: Per agetty(8), when /etc/issue contains the sequence \l, agetty is supposed to print: > l > Insert the name of the current tty line. This used to work with RHEL7, does not work with RHEL-9.1 * Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): util-linux-core-2.37.4-9.el9.x86_64 * How reproducible: 100% * Steps to Reproduce: 1. modify /etc/issue to something like: \S \n \m \r, \U, \l 2. switch to a different character console (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F5) * Actual results: The last piece of information on the greeting line is "-". * Expected results: It should be "tty5".
