Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.84.2-2+deb*
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Reporting this bug on a personal system because I observed it at work, but my
current employer requires some confidentiality. Bug seems to apply in multiple
package versions.

There appears to be a logical error in /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base such that it
will not rotate /var/log/exim4/paniclog if it is full of *only* lines that
are ignored by virtue of $E4BCD_PANICLOG_NOISE. I think the block that
performs log rotation should be contingent only on the log having something in
it, not on there being any non-noise lines in it, that would be alerted about,
to make this bug go away.

So I think those 3 lines ought to be moved down below the 'fi' immediately
beneath them.

*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Stupid emails causing paniclog to be full of stuff ignored by setting 
$E4BCD_PANICLOG_NOISE. Which results in the 'grep -vq' call returning a
failure exit code.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Doing $E4BCD_PANICLOG_NOISE to begin with was one mitigation, but it does not
respect the 'once' mode of $E4BCD_WATCH_PANICLOG so warning emails keep coming
until manual intervention is done.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Not quite enough.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Paniclog to rotate and thus to only receive one email about the same errors.

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***

       Closes: #929626
     + Instead of quoting the last ${E4BCD_PANICLOG_LINES} send out the last
       lines not filtered out by "$E4BCD_PANICLOG_NOISE". Closes: #929798
