Logcheck devel - Jun 2004 - Bug#252078: logtail: should depend on perl >= 5.8

Package: logtail
Version: 1.2.20a
Severity: important

Line 27 calls getopt in a mode which is only valid with perl >= 5.8.
If this version of logtail is installed on a system which still has
perl 5.6, logtail fails with an error. 

This occured for me with the recent update of logcheck. logcheck did not
send me any messages, after this update.

The exact error message:

# logtail
Not enough arguments for Getopt::Std::getopt at /usr/sbin/logtail line
27, near "()"
Execution of /usr/sbin/logtail aborted due to compilation errors.
