Package: fam Version: 2.7.0-13 Severity: normal I run logcheck on my desktop and get fairly frequent errors from famd because apparently it tries to read temporary files after they've been deleted. Most of the time it's KDE files, but not exclusively. If I use vim intensively, I also often get them for '.viminfo.tmp'.
Below a selection from syslog. I'm not sure if this is an issue in fam or maybe caused by the way the relevant programs handle temp files, but it is quite annoying. I tried googling for the error, but did not find much. Of course I could add a logcheck ignore rule, but I'd first like to know if this is a bug or "expected". If it is expected, it seems kind of silly for fam to report these in syslog, but if that's wanted for some reason, maybe a rule should be added to logcheck by default to suppress them in logcheck reports. This is not a recent regression; I've been seeing these for quite some time.
