[Logcheck-devel] Bug#244411: working on it

thanks

        Hi!

 I've taken a look at the code, and found the following:

#v+
db_get logcheck-database/security_level
linkfile logcheck.ignore $RET
linkfile ignore.d $RET
#v-

 It is no wonder that it fails on non-interactive debconf frontend...
Sorry, strangly it wasn't reported before. I am going to check with both
the security team and the stable release manager if a fix for that
problem has a chance to be accepted for woody, and will prepare a fix
for it.  It would be something along this oneline pseudodiff fix:

#v+
 db_get logcheck-database/security_level
+RET=${RET:-workstation}
 linkfile logcheck.ignore $RET
 linkfile ignore.d $RET
#v-

 I have to check if that construct is bashism or if it is portable
amongst the different shells.

 So long,
Alfie
