I tested the new version. It did not fix it for me.
In the end, only the 'begins ' string was my issue.
I mailed you another fix that fixed it for me.
Hope it helps...

I have added a command to set the locale in /usr/bin/cronwhip. Please test it and let me know if it solves the problem.

By the way. After changing begins to begint (just to chheck), I received the following error:
error: time data 'begint Sun Dec 1 00:07:32 2013' does not match format 'begins %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y'
so we might also have another locale problem.
Looking forward to hear from you...

I'm trying to use cronwhip.
In my case he reports the following error:
[root@study ~]# cronwhip --show-missed
error: time data 'begint Sun Dec 1 00:07:32 2013' does not match format 'begins %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y'

As you can see, he's expecting 'begins', but finds 'begint' (dutch for begins).
I don't think that wtp should have dutch text in it, but this being said, I think that there might be simple solution (with regular expressions) so that you could bypass the first word.
Should I debug an come up with a sollution? Or will you so that I can test? Or do you have any other idea on how to fix (like change config so that wtmp has only english texts? Please let me know...

@lockheed
There's a problem with your computer's network, not with the package. The source URL is correct and active.

Can you remove dependency on sysvinit for systems running on systemd?

Done, thanks.

sysvinit should be added as a dependency. That package provides the /usr/bin/last binary.
