Package: mcelog Version: 1.0~pre3-72-gcbd4da4-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
after upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy, I am no longer informed about memory ECC errors. *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? Upgrade/fresh install of Wheezy * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I was checking the configuration, and even did a reinstall of the mcelog package since I had a "logfile=..." line appended to /etc/mcelog/mcelog.conf originally. * What was the outcome of this action? root@o011:~# debsums mcelog /usr/sbin/mcelog OK /usr/share/doc/mcelog/NEWS.Debian.gz OK /usr/share/doc/mcelog/README.Debian OK /usr/share/doc/mcelog/README.gz OK /usr/share/doc/mcelog/changelog.Debian.gz OK /usr/share/doc/mcelog/changelog.gz OK /usr/share/doc/mcelog/copyright OK /usr/share/man/man8/mcelog.8.gz OK root@o011:~# apt-get install --reinstall mcelog Reading package lists...

The manual pages suggest that "mcelog --client" would read a memory buffer filled with error messages. Although memory errors happened, the return of this command is empty.
