Hi, there's a ttf-nerd-fonts conflict, one package removes the other package. One of the packages is flagged out-of-date, so I guess I shouldn't report a bug. However, it's a little bit annoying that I need to add ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-2048-em to IgnorePkg. "Do NOT report bugs when a package

What can be done to prevent messages from cluttering up log files?

Hi, assuming you can't get rid of the cause of messages flooding the log file, could you prevent writing with a filter? After all, only filtering when reading would not prevent the unnecessary growth of log files. I stumbled across the following which the solutions posted on the forums managed
