[Kosa Attila]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.3.13
Severity: important


Lenny, /usr/sbin/logcheck:
if [ ! $LOGFILE ] && [ -r $LOGFILES_LIST ]; then
    for file in $(egrep --text -v "(^#|^[[:space:]]*$)" $LOGFILES_LIST); do
        logoutput "$file"
    done 

Squeeze, /usr/sbin/logcheck:
if [ ! "$LOGFILE" ] && [ -r "$LOGFILES_LIST" ]; then
    egrep --text -v "(^#|^[[:space:]]*$)" "$LOGFILES_LIST" | while read file; do
        logoutput "$file"
    done

Therefore does not work the * pattern in /etc/logcheck/logcheck.logfiles:
/var/log/MACHINE/*/syslog
