Bug#1030249: unexpected "prefclean output on ..." emails since bookworm upgrade

Show all headers | View raw

Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.1.40
Severity: minor

Since I'm running bookworm, apt-listbugs started pestering me with
emails that look like this:

Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2023 07:25:20 -0500
From: apt-listbugs timer <root@curie>
To: root@anarc.at
Subject: prefclean output on curie

/usr/libexec/apt-listbugs/prefclean:
 Paquets corrigés : breeze kactivitymanagerd ksshaskpass kwayland-integration polkit-kde-agent-1

That "Paquets corrigés" string there means "Fixed packages" in
english. I've traced it down to /usr/libexec/apt-listbugs/aptcleanup,
itself called from /usr/libexec/apt-listbugs/prefclean which
specifically makes a point of explicitely writing an email if you're
running under systemd.

I'd love a way to turn that stuff off or, preferably, have it logged
normally in syslog/journald. I don't need to be told when those things
are fixed: I'm assuming apt-listbugs will do its job correctly unless
otherwise noted. In other words, this is not a failure condition, it's
actually a *success* condition, and I don't really need to be told
about those.

Could we make this a knob at least? It looks like aptcleanup looks at
the apt preferences to that might be a good place, but prefclean is
where the decision is actually mean on how to treat the aptclean
output, so I'm not sure how best this could be done...
