Package: logcheck
Version: 1.4.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello,
Since Debian Bookworm I get emails from logcheck because lines from
journalctl are no more ignored.
For example in the logcheck email I have:
juin 25 13:39:27 zotac smartd[548]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART Usage
Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 34 to 35
Note the first word of the line: "juin". It is the french word for June.
It looks like journalctl now displays the month using the configured
locale.
Compare:
# journalctl -t smartd -S "Jun 25 10:00:00"
juin 25 11:09:27 zotac smartd[548]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART Usage Attribu>
juin 25 13:39:27 zotac smartd[548]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART Usage Attribu>
with:
# LANG=C journalctl -t smartd -S "Jun 25 10:00:00"
Jun 25 11:09:27 zotac smartd[548]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART Usage Attribut>
Jun 25 13:39:27 zotac smartd[548]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART Usage Attribut
I have:
# cat /etc/default/locale
# File generated by update-locale
LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"
The patch is easy and attached.
