Bug#820426: [rc-alert] bad error message when wget fails

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.16.2
Severity: minor

$ while true; do pkill wget; done &
[1] 4609

$ rc-alert
rc-alert: could not close /home/jwilk/.cache/devscripts/rc-alert/all.html: 


Yes, that's the whole error message. It doesn't say what the error is, 
and the mentioned file doesn't even exist...
