Logcheck devel - Jan 2006 - Bug#350242: logcheck: does not handle filenames with dots in them (e.g. cyrus2.2)

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.42
Severity: normal

Cyrus 2.2 in experimental installs its logcheck file as:

	/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/cyrus2.2

That file is ignored...

root at protempore# su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck -o -t"
logcheck

When I rename it:

root at protempore# mv cyrus2.2 cyrus22
root at protempore# su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck -o -t"
logcheck
root at protempore#


See also BTS # 350240 where I ask the cyrus maintainers to rename their
file.

This looks like a problem with run-parts:

jps at lorien:~$ mkdir test
jps at lorien:~$ cd test
jps at lorien:~/test$ touch foo
jps at lorien:~/test$ touch bar1.1
jps at lorien:~/test$ touch foobar11
jps at lorien:~/test$ run-parts --list .
./foo
./foobar11
jps at lorien:~/test$ mv bar1.1 bar11
jps at lorien:~/test$ run-parts --list .
./bar11
./foo
./foobar11

Therefore, I'm going to reassign this to debianutils.
In the meantime I've modified logcheck to use find instead.

Thanks,
