Logcheck devel - Feb 2011 - Bug#615610: logcheck: Sends empty reports

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.3.13
Severity: normal


Hi!

Most e-mail I get from logcheck has the following contents:
"
System Events
=-=-=-=-=-=-"

When logcheck doesn't find anything, I would appreciate if it didn't
send me any e-mail at all.

This used to be the case, but when Testing started getting updates
again after the recent Debian release, logcheck started sending me
(almost) empty e-mails like the above.

Full e-mail with headers and everything:

reassign 615610 rsyslog 
forcemerge 612829 615610
thanks

Hi,

your issue is caused by #612829 and is already fixed in rsyslog 5.7.4-2.

So I merge this bug with the closed rsyslog bug.

Greetings
