Package: logwatch Version: 7.3.6.cvs20090906-1 Severity: normal Tags: squeeze lenny
This bug affects Lenny and Squeeze, and is present as of Lenny, due to switching from sysklogd to rsyslog (source: http://wiki.debian.org/Rsyslog). This update causes rotated log files to be suffixed with a .1 instead of .0. The same bug was reported at Launchpad for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logwatch/+bug/606715 Some logfile definitions in /usr/share/logwatch/{default,dist}.conf should be updated to reflect these changes to syslog: /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles$ grep -e 'LogFile.*\.0' * kernel.conf:LogFile = kern.log.0 daemon.conf:LogFile = daemon.log.0 maillog.conf:LogFile = mail.log.0 syslog.conf:LogFile = syslog.0 secure.conf:LogFile = auth.log.0 /usr/share/logwatch/dist.conf/logfiles$ grep -e 'LogFile.*\.0' * maillog.conf:LogFile = mail.log.0 messages.conf:LogFile = messages.0 This bug could lead to missing information in logwatch reports.
