I'm not sure about the fix. This is in 18.04
Apr 03 13:17:58 odin systemd-tmpfiles[1033]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf:14]
Duplicate line for path "/var/log", ignoring.

Addl comment which could be considered by a future fix...
The point and the issue of the problem in fact should address is the following
- given the tmpfiles.d behaviour as follows in man -S5 tmpfiles.d:
...
Files in /etc/tmpfiles.d override files with the same name in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.
and /run
If it was fixed in 8.12.0-1ubuntu3 why am I still seeing this on a
16.04.2 system with:
apt-cache policy rsyslog
rsyslog:
Installed: 8.16.0-1ubuntu3
Candidate: 8.16.0-1ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 8.16.0-1ubuntu3 500
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
This bug was fixed in the package rsyslog - 8.12.0-1ubuntu3

* debian/rsyslog.logcheck.ignore.server: Suppress warning about duplicate
tmpfiles.d line for /var/log, from our debian/00rsyslog.conf. Thanks to
sune-molgaard! (
As rsyslog ships the tmpfile snippet it should also ship that logcheck
rule IMHO. I added it to rsyslog's existing logcheck rule, thanks for
this!

Attached ignore rule - /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/systemd-tmpfiles
should fix the issue (have yet to test), but whether this should be
shipped by logcheck or by you guys, I really don't know.

Reopened, but if anything this is more a problem with logcheck (or
perhaps just missing ignore patterns). systemd's journal keeps the
priority of a message, and logcheck should certainly only look at >=
warning?

Please allow me to request for this to be reopened.
When having logcheck installed, this "harmless warning" results in
unnecessary, daily emails.

There's nothing to fix, it's just a harmless warning as rsyslog drops
in its own configuration file.
** Summary changed:
- systemd-tmpfiles-clean reports warning in logs
+ systemd-tmpfiles-clean warns about duplicate /var/log line
** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu)
