Logcheck devel - Jan 2005 - Bug#288580: logtail: Logtail (not logcheck) needs perl 5.8 (Bug#252078 wrongly fixed)

Package: logtail
Version: 1.2.32
Severity: important

Bug#252078 was reported against the binary package logtail but "fixed"
in logcheck.

Logtail (and not logcheck) should have a versioned dependency on perl.


Or even better: Use a form of getopts that works on woody as well, to
ease backporting!

logcheck and logtail are both developed, by the same team.

perhaps that can easily be addded,
but more importantly it should be in c and not in perl.

retitle 288580 logtail MUST depend on perl 5.8 (Debian Policy 11.9)
severity 288580 important
stop downgrading policy-violating bugs, please!

No, it relates to "Perl programs and modules", and logtail (as
packaged
in 1.2.32) is indeed a perl program.

Will you please allow me to argue before downgrading an important bug?

I did not downgrade this bug, but the (now) separate bug#288862. If that
is fixed in CVS as well as this one, then please correct there.

Sorry (I have a stupid MUA) - you should be Cced this one.

I don't think that's much of a problem nowadays.  :)  (Note that even
etch had perl 5.8.)

The only remaining purpose of this bug report is to request a non-Perl
version of logtail.  Given how any non-trivial Debian box has perl
installed, is it worth keeping this open?  (Are there people out there
running logtail on PDAs?)
