Hello Francois, thanks for your kind bug report! Now that you pointed it out, I see that I have the same exact messages on my box. This began with the upgrade to systemd/246-2 ... And, indeed, /usr/share/doc/systemd/NEWS.gz now states, in part: [...] | CHANGES WITH 246: [...] | * StandardError= and StandardOutput= in unit files no longer support | the "syslog" and "syslog-console" switches. They were long removed | from the documentation, but will now result in warnings when used, | and be converted to "journal" and "journal+console" automatically. [...] Mmmmh, I think I'll soon try to set StandardOutput=journal StandardError=journal in /lib/systemd/system/apt-listbugs.service (or maybe remove those two directive altogether, so that the default kicks in) and see what happens! BTW, I see the same messages for smartmontools, maybe it should be reported... oh, you have already done so in [#968168]... Nice job, thanks! ;-) [#968168]: <https://bugs.debian.org/968168> -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! ..................................................... Francesco Poli . GnuPG key fpr == CA01 1147 9CD2 EFDF FB82 3925 3E1C 27E1 1F69 BFFE
