Erdős Problem #25 — Existence of logarithmic density after excluding residues

About 31 years old · traced to

Let n1<n2<…n_1 < n_2 < \ldots be an arbitrary sequence of integers. Now the following question is perhaps of interest: Exclude one or several residues mod nin_i (where only the integers ≥ni\geq n_i are excluded). Is it true that the logarithmic density of the integers which are not excluded always exists? This question seems difficult even if we only exclude one residue mod nin_i for every nin_i.
