Hi RMs, [ Reason ] Close to the Trixie release writing out log statistics and on a too frequent interval was turned on in syslog-ng. Unfortunately these statistics are also written out if there were no log messages received, i.e. there were nothing else to log. [ Impact ] This writes out log events every second, filling up disks of small VMs for example. This was reverted for Sid, but Trixie needs this package update. [ Tests ] Local compile tests, I don't have a box to test this at the moment. But the fix is very trivial. [ Risks ] I do not know any. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documents in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in trixie [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable Thanks for considering, Laszlo/GCS
