Public bug reported: Binary package hint: logwatch
Hi, as mentioned in the release notes for Ubuntu 10.04 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Syslog%20upgrade), the latest rotated logfile receives the extension .1, whereas in previous releases it was .0. Many of the logfile definitions in /usr/share/logwatch/{default,dist}.conf/logfiles are wrong because of this: default.conf: $ grep '^LogFile.*.0$' * daemon.conf:LogFile = daemon.log.0 kernel.conf:LogFile = kern.log.0 maillog.conf:LogFile = mail.log.0 secure.conf:LogFile = auth.log.0 syslog.conf:LogFile = syslog.0 dist.conf: maillog.conf:LogFile = mail.log.0 messages.conf:LogFile = messages.0 Due to this, logwatch reports contain only half the truth. I know this is easily fixed locally, but I am of the opinion that it should work out of the box. Thanks for listening! ** Affects: logwatch (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Logfile defintions wrong after changes to logfile rotation in Ubuntu Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606715 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
