Package: logwatch
Version: 7.4.0+svn20130529rev144-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Logwatch reports contain perl error output from exim script, when ran
with an almost empty exim log file (this can happen when exim is removed
soon after installation):
--------------------- EXIM Begin ------------------------
Use of uninitialized value $StartQueue in numeric gt (>) at
/usr/share/logwatch
/scripts/services/exim line 312, <STDIN> line 1.
Use of uninitialized value $EndQueue in numeric gt (>) at
/usr/share/logwatch/s
cripts/services/exim line 312, <STDIN> line 1.
---------------------- EXIM End -------------------------
The attached patch fixes this.
Best,
Teemu
