Logcheck devel - Apr 2005 - Bug#303128: logcheck-database: my apologies

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.37
Followup-For: Bug #303128

For some reason the files provided by amavis and spamassassin are not in my
logcheck directory. This is a little off topic but is
there an easy way to restore these files with some apt/dpkg-foo without blowing
away my other settings?

Debian packages should always ask before replacing configuration files,
so..

apt-get remove foo && apt-get install foo
(or, if you use aptitude, aptitude reinstall foo)

..should keep your existing configuration intact (answer 'N' when it
asks you if you want to replace your existing config files).

To be on the safe side you could backup your amavis and spamassassin
directories:
cp -pR /etc/amavis /etc/amavis.bak
cp -pR /etc/spamassassin /etc/spamassassin.bak

HTH,
