[Bug 1134592] [NEW] isc-dhcp 4.2.4-5's DHCPREQUEST messages no longer match ignore regex

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Robie Basak (racb):

After upgrading my raring VMs to the latest isc-dhcp:

    isc-dhcp (4.2.4-5ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low
    isc-dhcp (4.2.4-5) unstable; urgency=medium

logcheck's email now includes DHCPREQUEST messages.  This is very
annoying when deployed in a OpenStack since the client does a DHCP
request every minute or so ;)

Here are some messages that are correctly filtered out:

$ zcat syslog.7.gz |grep DHCPRE | head -4

And here are messages now appearing in the email:

This email is sent by logcheck. If you no longer wish to receive
such mail, you can either deinstall the logcheck package or modify
its configuration file (/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf).

It looks like the xid text is not matched.
