Logcheck devel - Oct 2004 - Bug#270019: 270018, 270019 should remain open

I object to the closing of these bugs on all of the following grounds:

1. They are wishlist items, and the wish has not been resolved, simply
dismissed.
2. They are closed on the grounds that the messages are startup
messages.  Some are, but some are not.
3. The suggestion that startup messages should not be filtered out
seems unwarranted.
4. I responded to earlier requests for exact log lines, but the bugs
are now being closed because I have not provided filter patterns.
This is essentially a policy that a bug should be closed unless the
user provides the fix.  That is unreasonable.
5. The bugs were closed less than one week (and no weekends) after a
note threatening to close them.  That is insufficient time for a
response.


In reviewing the logs, I see that my message with the exact log lines
for the serial/ppp drivers did not get through; I can send that.  It
will take me a little while to do so.

In short, I think the bugs should remain open.  As they are wishlist
items, there is no great urgency in dealing with them, but dismissing
them is inappropriate.  The grounds given for closing the bug are
either incorrect or inappropriate.

neat,
both bugs were tagged moreinfo, 
on several request no valid info were provided.
startup messages of daemons shouldn't be filtered by logcheck,
exceptions are common stuff for desktop users.

the current logcheck maintainers care not having invalid bug reports
lying around, so either reopen the bug with requested info
or any time later open new bug again with correct information
to be handled with.
