Logcheck devel - Mar 2008 - Bug#472937: logcheck: minor grammar mistake in header.txt

Package: logcheck
Severity: minor


/etc/logcheck/header.txt has the phrase "If you wish to no-longer receive
it", which is a bit klunky (and, let's be honest, it splits an
infinitive).  Also, "no-longer" is not a hyphenated word.

Could we change it to "If you no longer wish to receive it"?  It's
one step closer to Debian perfection!

Hmm, what infinitive?  I think an infinitive is "to XX", but "to
wish"
isn't what's used.

I would phrase it in the positive: "If you wish to stop receiving it"
or "stop generating it" or "disable it"...  Otherwise
"no longer wish"
is just a lack of a wish, rather than a wish for the inverse.
