<pre>Created <span class=""><a href="attachment.cgi?id=109332" name="attach_109332" title="Verbose output of case 1 (concrete boot specified)">attachment 109332</a> <a href="attachment.cgi?id=109332&action=edit" title="Verbose output of case 1 (concrete boot specified)">[details]</a></span>
Verbose output of case 1 (concrete boot specified)
'journalctl <some executable>' misses entries depending on other arguments.
In contrast if no executable is specified, listed entries (filtered with
'grep') are complete.
'journalctl --verify' does not report any failure.
I noticed this bug with version 216-3 and just confirmed it with version
version 217 bundled with Arch Linux.
Case 1: Entry of thunderbird is only listed if concrete boot is specified:
