--- Begin Message ---Package: rsyslog Version: 8.24.0-1 Severity: normal The /var/log/kern.log file is ostensibly reserved for kernel messages, and per the default /etc/rsyslog.conf, only facility=KERN messages should be there: root@stretch:/var/log# fgrep -R kern.log /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/ /etc/rsyslog.conf:kern.* -/var/log/kern.log root@stretch:/var/log# However, over half the messages in the file are from NetworkManager and gnome, with various other userspace programs including firefox-esr making occasional appearances: root@stretch:/var/log# awk '{print $5}' kern.log* | sed 's/\(\[[0-9]*\]\)\?:$//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn 22074 kernel 10577 gnome-settings- 10524 gnome-shell 4312 NetworkManager 98 gnome-session-binary 84 gnome-terminal- 82 at-spi2-registr 45 colord 40 goa-daemon 39 gnome-panel 37 gnome-screensav 35 multiload-ng-sy 18 gnome-flashback 15 tracker-miner-f 11 tracker-extract 8 evolution-sourc 3 gvfsd-network 3 gvfsd 2 plugin-containe 2 firefox-esr 2 evolution-alarm 1 tracker-store 1 nm-applet 1 multiload-apple 1 root@stretch:/var/log# Aside from the annoyance of no longer having a separate file for kernel messages only, it's also wasteful since all the messages also correctly appear in other files: root@stretch:/var/log# fgrep NetworkManager messages* | wc -l 4312 root@stretch:/var/log# I previously reported the same bug against Ubuntu 16.04 [1]. There, it was only NM and gnome-session; it's almost 2 dozen packages in stretch, so whatever it is, it's getting worse. It also defies belief that all these programs are suddenly switching to facility KERN. (NetworkManager, for its part, clearly documents that it uses facility DAEMON [2] [3].) So, it seems like something else is going on somewhere.

[ Michael Biebl ] * journal: fix up syslog facility when forwarding native messages. Native journal messages (_TRANSPORT=journal) typically don't have a syslog facility attached to it. As a result when forwarding the messages to syslog they ended up with facility 0 (LOG_KERN). Apply syslog_fixup_facility() so we use LOG_USER instead. (Closes: #837893) * nspawn: Support ephemeral boots from images (Closes: #858149) * Exclude test binaries from dh_shlibdeps. The test binaries in libsystemd-dev require libsystemd-shared which is shipped in the systemd package. Those test binaries are primarily meant to be run via autopkgtest. As the libsystemd-dev package is not supposed to depend on systemd, exclude the tests from dh_shlibdeps and instead update the autopkgtest dependencies to pull in the systemd package. (Closes: #859152) . [ Felipe Sateler ] * Backport patch to make inability to get OS version nonfatal in machinectl. Otherwise machinectl list breaks when there are libvirt machines (Closes: #849316) . [ Sjoerd Simons ] * init-functions: Only call daemon-reload when planning to redirect. systemctl daemon-reload is a quite a heavy operation, it will re-parse all configuration and re-run all generators. This should only be done when strictly needed.
