Public bug reported:
In following up the fixes for
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logwatch/+bug/606715, I notice
that the vdr.conf file appears to suffer from the same issue. Namely:
# grep log /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/vdr.conf
LogFile = vdr.log
LogFile = vdr.log.0
Archive = vdr.log.*.gz
But since the change from sysklogd to rsyslog (see deb #612634), the
first rotated logfile is suffixed .log.1. So the config file should
look like this:
# grep log /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/vdr.conf
LogFile = vdr.log
LogFile = vdr.log.1
Archive = vdr.log.*.gz
However, even after installing vdr I'm not spotting an indication that
its log would be included in logrotation. (I can't be 100% certain; I
don't have the necessary video HW vdr expects so the install didn't
complete 100%) And, grepping through vdr source, I couldn't verify that
it actually writes to /var/log/vdr.log. So there's a possibly
/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/vdr.conf is vestigial and
could be dropped from logwatch.
