[Pkg-aide-maintainers] Bug#414268: aide: syntax errors tell wrong line number

[Marc Schiffbauer]

Package: aide
Version: 0.13.1-2
Severity: normal


For example I got this message:
linux:/etc/aide# aide -D -c /var/lib/aide/aide.conf.autogenerated
44:syntax error:(
44:Error while reading configuration:(
Configuration error

Correct would be "45". Look here:

linux:/etc/aide# nl -ba -nln /var/lib/aide/aide.conf.autogenerated | grep "^4[1-9] "
41
42
43
