[Logcheck-devel] Bug#503000: logcheck fails due to a perl warning

[Jan Evert van Grootheest]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.68
Severity: important

I upgraded my lenny server today. I guess the previous update is something like two weeks ago.
Now logcheck started sending mails containing only this perl error:
This email is sent by logcheck. If you wish to no-longer receive it,
you can either deinstall the logcheck package or modify its
configuration file (/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf).

Obviously there's something wrong with perl. But I also consider it a bug that logcheck produces
'half' a result in this manner. It should really not be doing this.
