Public bug reported: I am using logwatch 7.3.6.cvs20090906-1ubuntu4 on oneiric with postfix 2.8.3-1.
Logwatch is reporting quite a few errors while parsing postfix log entries. Here is a complete list from my latest logwatch report: --------------------- Postfix Begin ------------------------ Use of uninitialized value $_[0] in reverse at /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/postfix line 254, <> line 3.
