When running through crontab(/etc/cron.d/logcheck) that are installed by default it spams:

For every usage of egrep in the /usr/sbin/logcheck exeutable

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Spamed with warnings

Expected Results:  
No warning about obsolescent commands

Comment 1 Trollkarlen 2025-02-04 15:04:23 UTC
Preferably the shellcheck issues should also be solved.
shellcheck /usr/sbin/logcheck

Comment 2 Trollkarlen 2025-03-07 13:16:24 UTC
Not even an chatbot answers, then you are truly alone :)

Comment 3 Emmanuel Seyman 2025-03-16 23:28:52 UTC
FTR, I will happily review and merge pull-requests made to the package or cherry-pick any patches sent to upstream that are pointed out to me.

Comment 4 Matthias Runge 2025-03-17 08:32:07 UTC
I'm sorry that you felt ignored.

I'd happily hand-over the package into someone else's caring hands. I don't have the time to work on this. I've initially packaged logcheck ages ago, but don't use it anymore for quite some time.

Comment 5 Trollkarlen 2025-03-17 15:02:38 UTC
I then I understand.

It looks like it's fixed in this git with alot of other fixes.
