[Bug 1579580] Re: ureadahead reports relative path errors in journalctl output

[Dan Streetman]

marking upstream ureadahead as won't fix, since it was dropped from
Ubuntu starting in Cosmic.

** Description changed:

+ [impact]
+ 
+ ureadahead logs thousands of lines of useless noise on each boot.
+ 
+ [test case]
+ 
+ install bionic on physical hardware (ureadhead doesn't run under virt)
+ and check the boot logs:
+ 
+ #journalctl -m | grep ureadahead | wc -l
+ 30244
+ 
+ [regression potential]
+ 
+ very little, adding the -q param only causes libnih to switch to quiet
+ mode.  any regression would likely be around ureadahead not starting at
+ all, which really wouldn't be that bad anyway, as ureadahead has been
+ removed entirely from Ubuntu starting in cosmic.
+ 
+ [other info]
+ 
+ original description:
+ 
+ --
+ 
  ureadahead reports relative path errors in my journalctl output.
  
  This is currently 4368 lines of useless annoyances in my logs.
  
  To see if you have this problem, run: journalctl -b | grep ureadahead |
  grep relative | wc -l
  
  Thanks
