[Logcheck-devel] Bug#350242: logcheck: does not handle filenames with dots in them (e.g. cyrus2.2)

[Paul Traina]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.42
Severity: normal

Cyrus 2.2 in experimental installs its logcheck file as:

	/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/cyrus2.2

That file is ignored...

root at protempore# su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck -o -t" logcheck

When I rename it:

root at protempore# mv cyrus2.2 cyrus22
root at protempore# su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck -o -t" logcheck
root at protempore#


See also BTS # 350240 where I ask the cyrus maintainers to rename their
file.
