Bug#262068: [Logcheck-devel] Bug#262068: logcheck: Putting subdirs in ignore.d causes error emails to be sent

[Todd Troxell]

Dale,

Thanks for the report.  This issue is resolved in the sarge version of
logcheck, and will not likely be fixed in woody as it affects only
these non-standard configurations.

The latest logcheck is available at
