[Python-apps-team] Bug#789315: painintheapt: crontab produces debug output

[Gerald Turner]

Package: painintheapt
Version: 0.20150504-2~bpo8+1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The crontab installed by painintheapt produces debug output and thus
sends superfluous email everyday that it is run.

Output:

  ^MFetched 0 B in 0s (0 B/s)

It would be nice if the script had a --quiet option, but until then,
I've simply redirected output to /dev/null (see configuration below),
which is unfortunate as there could be errors that should get reported.
