Package: automysqlbackup
Version: 2.5-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch
automysqlbackup fails to purge the rotated weekly backups that are older
than 5 weeks, if you selected SEPDIR (Separate backup for each DB).
It's strange that nobody else noticed this problem yet.
The fix for the problem is a one-liner, see below.

Gregor Hoffleit
