There's a "new" (2015) Debian bug for this issue, which I linked to the cyrus-sasl2 task. Apparently the regexp in /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/libsasl2-modules which is used to ignore the annoying log message doesn't match the log message format of the newer releases. The Debian bug has a patch for it, however it would be better for this change to land in the Debian package. Ubuntu will then pick it up with the next package sync.
The Debian bug has seen no activity since 2018. I'll try to poke the maintainers. ** Changed in: cyrus-sasl2 (Debian) Status: Fix Released => Unknown ** Changed in: cyrus-sasl2 (Debian) Remote watch: Debian Bug tracker #631932 => Debian Bug tracker #805310 ** Changed in: cyrus-sasl2 (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Triaged ** Also affects: cyrus-sasl2 (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: cyrus-sasl2 (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: cyrus-sasl2 (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
