All: The following test for conditional convergence appears to give the wrong answer. By the Alternating Series test I think the sum should conditionally converge. Any comment or correction?

SumConvergence[(-1)^k Log[k]/k, k]

False (* I think should be true *)

and

SumConvergence[ Log[k]/k, k]

is correctly

False

Jon.
