Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.1.35
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
It would be nice to clean up this minor annoyance before buster's release.
* What led up to the situation?
Installed apt-listbugs and logcheck on a debian testing system.
Every *hour* I get email from logcheck that includes lines like this:
Apr 30 08:37:06 debtest systemd[1]: Starting Daily apt-listbugs
preferences cleanup...
Apr 30 08:37:06 debtest systemd[1]: Finished Daily apt-listbugs
preferences cleanup.
(Obviously logcheck and the email are incidental; the point is the
"Daily" cleanup is actually run hourly. However, the emails are
part of why I find it annoying.)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Investigated why this is happening. The package has an entry in
/etc/cron.daily, which seems correct. But it also has
/lib/systemd/system/apt-listbugs.timer which includes
OnCalendar=*-*-* *:20
I believe this is telling it to trigger something at 20 minutes
after the hour for every hour. There is also
RandomizedDelaySec=20min
in the same file, which may explain why it seems to run between 20
and 40 minutes after the hour for me.
This seems more like a task for anacron for systems that may not be
up all the time, but I don't know enough about systemd to be sure
how to turn it off, or if it can handle these situations.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Only observations so far, and so no change. I might change to
OnCalendar=*-*-* 20:20
which I think means run at 8:20pm every day. But the VM is not up
all the time and so that might miss some times it should run,
unless the /etc/cron.daily/ entry acts as a safety net.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That a daily cleanup job would only run once a day.
Another work-around for the visible annoyance would be for me to tell
logcheck to ignore the relevant messages.
Thanks for your work on the package:)
