Looks like I was wrong about this no longer occurring: ~$ ls -lt --full-time .goutputstream-* -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-11-01 19:37:04.192848462 -0700 .goutputstream-ZKZLNW -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-10-28 20:53:06.375847725 -0700 .goutputstream-7L5OMW -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-10-18 20:23:00.379422660 -0700 .goutputstream-4DXOMW -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-10-05 08:17:53.685007202 -0700 .goutputstream-76VALW -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-09-20 21:12:29.225603184 -0700 .goutputstream-MTAXKW -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-09-15 22:03:45.465563151 -0700 .goutputstream-C1MLKW -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-09-03 09:59:17.137958626 -0700 .goutputstream-PDE2JW -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-08-27 21:12:04.438034567 -0700 .goutputstream-6INOJW -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-08-18 09:12:29.925476010 -0700 .goutputstream-Z50OIW -rw------- 1 pydave pydave 0 2012-08-02 05:52:34.417474564 -0700 .goutputstream-K0AGIW
All the files in /var/log/installer/ have a timestamp of Aug 1, so I guess that's when I did my clean install of Precise? I have no idea when I moved these files. It seems my issue has been improved -- the files are now 0 bytes.
