Public bug reported:

Hello,

in the syslog every second two lines are written:

This is not only annoying as it makes it difficult to use the syslog for
checking the system, but also it writes too much data into the log (18MB
each day). Also it keeps the hard disc awaken what is bad for standby.

Kubuntu 18.04
ii  liblirc-client0:amd64 0.10.0-2     amd64        infra-red remote control 
support - client library
ii  liblirc0:amd64        0.10.0-2     amd64        Infra-red remote control 
support - Run-time libraries
ii  lirc                  0.10.0-2     amd64        Infra-red remote control 
support - daemons and utils

I do not have infrared remote control hardware. But I cannot purge the
packages as other packages I want to keep would be removed as well.
Deactivating the services in systemd does not help (or I am doing
something wrong?)

Gert
