"debdiff logcheck_1.2.35.dsc logcheck_1.2.36.dsc" shows this among other
changes:
- egrep --text -v -f $clean/$file $TMPDIR/checked | cat \
- >> $TMPDIR/checked.1 \
- || error "Could not output to TMPDIR/checked.1 Disk Full?"
+ (egrep --text -v -f $clean/$file $TMPDIR/checked \
+ || warn "Could not process file $file") | cat \
+ >> $TMPDIR/checked.1 \
+ || error "Could not output to $TMPDIR/checked.1 Disk Full?"
However this causes spurious reports looking like this:
| System Events
| =-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
|
| Logcheck Warnings
| =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
| Could not process file spamassassin
|
This is because egrep returns 1 if no lines are found:
| DIAGNOSTICS
| Normally, exit status is 0 if selected lines are found and 1 otherwise.
| But the exit status is 2 if an error occurred, unless the -q or --quiet
| or --silent option is used and a selected line is found.
The quick fix is to simply revert that change. A better one would be to write a
more elaborate condition on whether egrep returned exit code 2.
