Lots of progress scores logged to syslog during post-upgrade package install
-
After upgrading, the system installs/reinstalls all the packages. During that time lots of %age download figures are logged individually, like:
Oct 21 15:07:49 kernel: Oct 21 15:07:54 kernel: 1% Oct 21 15:07:56 kernel: 2% Oct 21 15:07:57 kernel: 3% Oct 21 15:07:59 kernel: 4% Oct 21 15:08:00 kernel: 5% Oct 21 15:08:01 kernel: 6% Oct 21 15:08:02 kernel: 7% Oct 21 15:08:03 kernel: 8% Oct 21 15:08:05 kernel: 9% Oct 21 15:08:06 kernel: 10% Oct 21 15:08:14 kernel: 20% Oct 21 15:08:33 kernel: 30% Oct 21 15:08:39 kernel: 40% Oct 21 15:08:45 kernel: 50% Oct 21 15:09:04 kernel: 60% Oct 21 15:09:12 kernel: 70% Oct 21 15:09:16 kernel: 80% Oct 21 15:09:25 kernel: 90% Oct 21 15:09:32 kernel: 100%
Did that used to happen on 2.1.n also?
Anyway, it is spamming syslog - it should be enough just log the various packages as they start and end install, like it also does:Oct 21 15:07:43 php: rc.bootup: Reinstalling package OpenVPN Client Export Utility Oct 21 15:07:45 php: rc.bootup: Beginning package installation for OpenVPN Client Export Utility .
and so on.
