Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.36 Severity: important Tags: patch "debdiff logcheck_1.2.35.dsc logcheck_1.2.36.dsc" shows this among other changes:
- egrep --text -v -f $clean/$file $TMPDIR/checked | cat \ - >> $TMPDIR/checked.1 \ - || error "Could not output to TMPDIR/checked.1 Disk Full?" + (egrep --text -v -f $clean/$file $TMPDIR/checked \ + || warn "Could not process file $file") | cat \ + >> $TMPDIR/checked.1 \ + || error "Could not output to $TMPDIR/checked.1 Disk Full?" However this causes spurious reports looking like this: | System Events | =-=-=-=-=-=-= | | | Logcheck Warnings | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Could not process file spamassassin | This is because egrep returns 1 if no lines are found: | DIAGNOSTICS | Normally, exit status is 0 if selected lines are found and 1 otherwise. | But the exit status is 2 if an error occurred, unless the -q or --quiet | or --silent option is used and a selected line is found. The quick fix is to simply revert that change. A better one would be to write a more elaborate condition on whether egrep returned exit code 2. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-k7 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages logcheck depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii cron 3.0pl1-87 management of regular background p ii debconf [debconf 1.4.47 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.13.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii exim4 4.50-4 metapackage to ease exim MTA (v4) ii exim4-daemon-hea 4.50-4 exim MTA (v4) daemon with extended ii lockfile-progs 0.1.10 Programs for locking and unlocking ii logcheck-databas 1.2.36 A database of system log rules for ii logtail 1.2.36 Print log file lines that have not ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20040524cvs-4 A simple mail user agent ii sysklogd [system 1.4.1-16 System Logging Daemon -- debconf information: logcheck/changes: * logcheck/install-note: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
