Bug Description

Binary package hint: logwatch

I get the following in the email logwatch 7.3.6-1ubuntu1 sends. The 'Unknown lines' all seem reasonably standard, so I don't really care about them, so they shouldn't be included.

 --------------------- dpkg status changes Begin ------------------------

 Upgraded:
    login 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.1 => 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2
    passwd 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.1 => 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2

 Unknown lines:
    2008-12-18 11:46:18 startup archives unpack
    2008-12-18 11:46:19 configure login 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2
    2008-12-18 11:46:19 startup archives unpack
    2008-12-18 11:46:19 startup packages configure
    2008-12-18 11:46:20 configure passwd 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2
    2008-12-18 11:46:20 startup packages configure

 ---------------------- dpkg status changes End -------------------------

This patch fixes those unknown lines, as well as capturing re-installed packages and conf file lines that would normally be put in the Unknown lines section. Backported from latest logwatch cvs.

I forgot to mention that my patch is for the Hardy version, but the bug occurs in the Jaunty version as well.

As a workaround for anyone still waiting for this to be fixed, you can install the latest logwatch from Jaunty, found here:
