Bug#833662: apt-daily does not send e-mail as advertised
Package: apt
Version: 1.3~pre3
Severity: normal
Hi,
the /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily script holds documentation that the
setting Periodic::Verbose influences e-mail sent to root. But it then
only influences which part of output is sent to standard output and
standard error.
On systemd systems, the apt-daily.timer and apt-daily.service units
that run this script do not set up e-mailing of the output to root.
Hence, the output only ends up in the journal and not in root's
mailbox, as advertised.
Greetings
Marc
