[Bug 606715] [NEW] Logfile defintions wrong after changes to logfile rotation in Ubuntu Lucid

[Oliver Brakmann]

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!
