[Logcheck-devel] Feature request: support logcheck.logfiles.d and logcheck.logfiles
Hello logcheck developers, During analysis of an automated installation failure, I found following problem (not really in logcheck, but logcheck might want to support this usecase): Automated installs of various packages added logcheck rules to various ignore.d... and created/appended to logcheck.logfiles, although logcheck was not yet installed (and not planned to be installed in first place). When installing logcheck later on in noninteractive mode, the automated install failed, dpkg was asking if logcheck.logfiles should be overwritten with version from package. The question was not answered (non-interactive install), so install failed. Would it be wise and possible to add some logfiles.d directory, so that e.g. apache could add his logcheck default rules and logfile-list to this directory during install without conflicting with normal logcheck configuration?
