Closing this bug from 2009 as
- discussion shows it was caused by a bug in bastille , and even that
that bug was fixed
- bastille was removed from debian in 2013
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/bastille
- the message about system accounts expiring is not routinely produced
- if you do get such a
report it probably indicates a bug somewhere else (as was
apparently the case here)
Therefore, there is no "bug" in logcheck-database. But please reopen
if there is still an issue
