Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.1.30 Severity: minor File: /lib/systemd/system/apt-listbugs.timer
I noticed in my logs that systemd is running "Daily apt-listbugs preferences cleanup" once per hour, which of course looks like a bug. It seems like what is actually happening is the timer fires hourly and then the script that is ultimately run has some logic to check if its been a day or not. I imagine this is for cron compatability (I guess on systems without anacron?)... systemd timers can just do all that, though, with the Persistent= option. That'd have a couple advantages, like being easier for the admin to understand, easier to customize (e.g., maybe 7am isn't a good time), and I suppose probably save a barely measurable amount of electricity. Anyway, I'm filing this as minor, but feel free to downgrade to wishlist. Though I suggest striking the word "daily" in the timer Description= if you do. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (150, 'stable-debug'), (150, 'stable'), (100, 'experimental-debug'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt-listbugs depends on: ii apt 1.8.2 ii ruby 1:2.5.1 ii ruby-debian 0.3.9+b8 ii ruby-gettext 3.2.9-1 ii ruby-soap4r 2.0.5-4 ii ruby-unicode 0.4.4-2+b9 ii ruby-xmlparser 0.7.3-3+b2 Versions of packages apt-listbugs recommends: ii ruby-httpclient 2.8.3-2 ii s6 2.7.2.2-3 Versions of packages apt-listbugs suggests: ii chromium [www-browser] 76.0.3809.62-1 ii elinks [www-browser] 0.13~20190125-3 ii firefox [www-browser] 68.0.1-2 ii google-chrome-stable [www-browser] 75.0.3770.142-1 ii konqueror [www-browser] 4:18.12.0-1 ii links2 [www-browser] 2.19-2 ii lynx [www-browser] 2.9.0dev.1-2 ii reportbug 7.5.2 ii sensible-utils 0.0.12 ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-37 ii xdg-utils 1.1.3-1 -- no debconf information
