How to prevent printing of "debug path" in stdout?

Question

Sys Vers: ubuntu precise 12.04 LTS

I seem to have a config setting that forces an executable to log to stdout (or stderr) the current directory it walks through. All commands execute successfully though. To give you an example :

root@myserver:/# bzr whoami<br/>
debug path usr<br/>
debug path usr<br/>
debug path bin<br/>
debug path usr<br/>
debug path bin<br/>
debug path python<br/>
debug path python2.7<br/>
debug path usr<br/>
debug path usr<br/>
debug path bin<br/>
debug path usr<br/>
debug path bin<br/>
debug path python2.7<br/>
debug path Modules<br/>
debug path Setup.dist<br/>
debug path Modules<br/>
debug path Setup.local<br/>
debug path config<br/>
debug path Makefile<br/>
debug path pyconfig.h<br/>
debug path .local<br/>

Anyone has seen this and could point me in the right direction ? Cheers.

I think a little more context is necesssary. What's this "config setting" you're referring to? — Michael Martinez, Aug 29 '13 at 20:29

Hi folks and sorry for not being back earlier. Here is the answer from our server admin, who kindly fixed it for me:

I moved /etc/update-modt.d/91-release-upgrade to /home/myhomedir/, since this script calls : /usr/lib/update-manager/release-upgrade-motd the latter generating the debug lines. So my solution is only cosmetic.

Basically, If I understand right, there is still some debug code in update manager. And The script doesn't execute when I log into my user account. Correct me if I'm stating wrong.
