Logcheck devel - Feb 2006 - Bug#353793: /usr/sbin/logcheck does no longer skip '<rule file>~' files?

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.43a
Severity: important
Tags: patch

This patch seems to work around the problem:

            if [ -f ${dir}/${rulefile} ]; then
                debug "cleanrules: ${dir}/${rulefile}"

but I may be wrong.

Thing is that statement:

  for rulefile in $(run-parts --list $dir); do

changed (1.2.42 -> 1.2.43a) to:

  for rulefile in $(find $dir); do

and things broke :(


Cheers,
