Bug#348974: log-watch: unmatched entry for Syslogd
Please test the version 7.2.1-0test1 I'm afraid this version seems to be fundamentally broken, this was all I got in my mail this morning from cron (and no log watch email at all): /etc/cron.daily/00logwatch: No mail for root run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/00logwatch exited with return code 141 I tried to get the Debug::Trace module to show me what was was going on, but I couldn't get any output from it. An strace ended with this, which looks like a problem passing the output to the mail command: write(4, MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Transf..., 4096) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe) --- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGPIPE +++ Richard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've changed that in 7.2.1-0test2. I've only tested # logwatch --print which worked. I didn't expect that this could break. Sorry.

I didn't expect that this could break. Sorry. I use exim and courier, and installing sendmail seems to want to remove them. Does this mean I can no longer use logwatch? No, you need an mta that provides /usr/sbin/sendmail, in debian terms a package that provides mail-transport-agent. My sentence was probably the worst form to express that. But apt will take care for that anyway. $ apt-cache show logwatch | grep -E ^(Depends|Version) Version: 7.2.1-0test2 Depends: perl, exim | mail-transport-agent Version: 7.2.1-0test1 Depends: perl, mailx Version: 7.1-2 Depends: perl, mailx, gawk $ grep-aptavail -FProvides mail-transport-agent | grep ^Package Package: esmtp-run Package: exim Package: exim4-daemon-heavy Package: exim4-daemon-light Package: hula-mta Package: masqmail Package: nullmailer Package: postfix Package: sendmail-bin Package: ssmtp Package: xmail Package: smail Package: zmailer Package: courier-mta (I've pasted them here, because I might need that list later.)

I've just seen that I didn't upload 7.2.1-0test2. 7.2.1-0test3 is now ready, I'll upload in the next 10 minutes. Willi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

But apt will take care for that anyway. Jolly good, I don't understand how all the MTA components fit together. Anyway, tested with the new version and it can send mail again, and the original reported syslogd message issue is resolved.
