I remember seeing in the NEWS for util-linux that last(1) was moved to 
the wtmpdb package:


$ zcat /usr/share/doc/util-linux/NEWS.Debian.gz
util-linux (2.40.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * last(1) has been split off to the wtmpdb package.
     If you find last(1) useful, please install wtmpdb and accept the 
default
     PAM configuration changes from libpam-wtmpdb.
   * lastb(1) is removed. Please see syslog/journal for failed login 
attempts.

How do you use "more" to do what "last" does?

You might be thinking of less(1), a program similar to more(1). The 
original post refers to last(1), which lists logins.
