[Pkg-aide-maintainers] Bug#406206: aide: AIDE cronjob gives 'onexit: command not found' error

[P.M. van Aalten]

Package: aide
Version: 0.13.1-2
Severity: important

I can't really believe that not everyone has this problem, but:
Every day I get an e-mail as a result of the AIDE cron job. It contains:
---------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/cron.daily/aide: line 117: onexit: command not found
/etc/cron.daily/aide: line 61: onexit: command not found
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/aide exited with return code 127
---------------------------------------------------------------

My scripting capabilities are limited, but according to
/etc/cron.daily/aide, function 'onexit' is defined on line 135 so it sounds logical that the command isn't yet known on lines 61 and 117. AIDE exits with an 
error message and I assume (perhaps not justified) that AIDE doesn't do it's intrusion detection.

If additional testing or information is needed, please let me know.

Best regards,
Matthijs van Aalten
