[Pkg-aide-maintainers] Bug#411823: aide: "line 342: CHANGES: unbound variable" when reporting only on changes

[P.M. van Aalten]

Package: aide
Version: 0.13.1-4
Severity: important

I'm trying to get AIDE to report only changes. Content of /etc/default/aide:
MAILSUBJ="Daily AIDE report for $FQDN"
MAILTO=root
QUIETREPORTS=yes
COMMAND=update
COPYNEWDB=yes
LINES=1000
NOISE=""
AIDEARGS=""

When running /etc/cron.daily/aide from the command line as root, I get:
./aide: line 342: CHANGES: unbound variable

As far as I can see, variable $CHANGES is never initialised or assigned anywhere. Perhaps $ARETVAL should be used?

(personal note: due to holidays, I will not be able to respond for a week after thursday feb. 22)

Regards,
Matthijs
