Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.3.8
Severity: normal

After double checking that I had the most up to date logcheck-database
:-) I am seeing these lines reported.

  May 17 15:29:33 localhost named[1765]: error (network unreachable) resolving 'software.majix.org/A/IN': 2001:503:ba3e::2:30#53

I believe that this line was intended to match it.

  ^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ named\[[[:digit:]]+\]: ((network|host) (unreachable|down)|connection refused|unexpected RCODE \((FORMERR|SERVFAIL|NXDOMAIN|NOTIMP|REFUSED|YXDOMAIN|YXRRSET|NXRRSET|NOTAUTH|NOTZONE|BADVERS|<rcode [[:digit:]]+>|[[:digit:]]+)\)) resolving '[^[:space:]]+': [.:[:xdigit:]]+#[[:digit:]]+$

The Lenny form of the syslog line would have been:

  May 17 07:39:43 localhost named[2395]: network unreachable resolving '38.106.104.86.in-addr.arpa/PTR/IN': 2001:610:240:0:53::193#53

The Lenny BIND syslog line matches the rule.  Apparently a BIND syslog
line format change occurred.  I haven't seen enough of the associated
errors to know what else may have changed.

  bind9 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1

For the time being I have added the following as a local rule.

  ^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ named\[[[:digit:]]+\]: error \((network|host) (unreachable|down)\) resolving '[^[:space:]]+': [.:[:xdigit:]]+#[[:digit:]]+$

Thanks!
Bob
