There is an interesting thread with some links about this problem in the
archlinux forum:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193123
fine but what is QA doing all day long that this makes it to distros and
why donät they *just read* their debug logs and *fix that crap at all*
so that it is silent because no longer buggy?
and YES i know what i am talking about - warnings and debug output is
there *to get fixed* and if it's just to not overlook important things
in the useless all-day-flood
