Package: bsdutils
Version: 1:2.26.2-9
Severity: important
Hi,
I think this is a new bug. I saw logs from August interspersed
with logs from September in my syslog (after first thinking
something had reset the time, as the machine crashed hard on
the weekend too), but it turns out this is simply a bug in
logger. Reproducer:
tglase@tglase:~ $ (echo foo; sleep 5; echo bar) | logger -t baz
tglase@tglase:~ $ fgrep baz: /var/log/syslog
Sep 7 09:04:34 tglase baz: foo
Sep 7 09:04:34 tglase baz: bar
Let’s see…
Sep 7 09:06:49 tglase-dev baz: foo
Sep 7 09:06:54 tglase-dev baz: bar
↑ that’s a jessie system, so this bug is indeed new.
Please also see #787958 for another issue with long-running
logger sessions and fix them in one go. Thanks!
