COMMENTS
The sequence A006879(n) is always < A228067(n) for 1 <= n <= 25.
The sequence (A228067) yields an average relative difference in absolute value, i.e., average(abs(A228068(n))/A006879(n) = 0.0175492... for 1 <= n <= 25.
Note that A190802(n) = (Li(10^n) - Li(2)) is not defined for n=0. Its value is set arbitrarily to 0.
