** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ Gnome keyring re-registration messages aren't handled by logwatch, and
+ thus end up in the "Unmatched Entries" section, one per event. As the
+ items are already registered, these aren't flagging actual issues and as
+ a result clutters up the logwatch reports unnecessarily.
+
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ $ export CODENAME="focal"
+ $ lxc launch ubuntu:${CODENAME} test-logwatch
+ $ lxc exec test-logwatch -- bash
+
+ # apt-get update
+ # apt-get dist-upgrade -y
+ # apt-get install -y logwatch
+
+ # wget
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logwatch/+bug/1890752/+attachment/5407061/+files/unmatched-entries-gnome-keyring-daemon%3Aauth.log
+ # cat unmatched-entries-gnome-keyring-daemon:auth.log >> /var/log/auth.log
+
+ # logwatch --detail High --service all --range all --output stdout
+
+ Without the fix, there will be unmatched entries about gnome keyring re-
+ registration; with the fix there will be no such entries.
+
+ (Note: For testing it's not really necessary to trigger the original
+ condition that produces the log entry, since for Logwatch the purpose is
+ more about making sure the entry is detected and processed
+ appropriately.)
+
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ Since logwatch filters logs for errors pertinent to administrators,
+ standard things to watch out for are undesired changes in this filtering
+ behavior, such as flagging or failing to flag issues differently than
+ before, other than the specific messages being filtered with this
+ change.
+
+ [Fix]
+
+ [Discussion]
+
+ [Original Report]
$ sudo logwatch --detail Low --range today --service all --output stdout
