[snip: bugs that ended up being: remove support for running
syslog-summary from logcheck, dating back to ~ 2020!]
[ snip: discussion of local version of syslog-summary]
> https://git.alphanet.ch/gitweb/?p=various;a=blob;f=logcheck/syslog-summary;h=dcfe82b9ab2065309dc39f929d0d5c9055c75f55;hb=HEAD
I only just spotted this - on 11 Nov 2024 (approx 3 days after the
last message in this bug!), a new syslog-summary
was uploaded to debian (see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/syslog-summary).
So im closing this bug against logcheck which asked to remove the
support - luckily no-one actioned it in the last few years!
If anyone reading thinks there is something to do in logcheck, please
open a new bug!
I'm cc'ing the syslog-summary maintainers in case they want to check
out marc's version, linked above
