Package: logwatch
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 2592
Maintainer: Ubuntu Core developers <email address hidden>

Version: 7.3.6.cvs20090906-1ubuntu1

What you expected to happen: the script /etc/cron.daily/00logwatch to send e-mail in html format.

What happened instead: it sends empty e-mail.

Here the information:
# pwd
/usr/share/logwatch/dist.conf

# cat logwatch.conf
mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
TmpDir = /tmp
MailFrom = root
Output = mail
Format = html

# /etc/cron.daily/00logwatch
Can not open HTML Header at /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/html/header.html: No such file or directory

Hi,

It was an upgrade from jaunty.

There is no header.html in the karmic logwatch package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/all/logwatch/filelist .

The fix may have been released, but apparently it did not make it to the repositories for the Karmic release not has it made it to any live update. I installed logwatch today (12/29/2009) from Synaptic and the html folder and its contents are still missing.

Though the package should be fixed properly, I would also like to know where I can get the missing folder and its files without waiting.

Hello,

You can do the same thing I did do, go to the source
(http://www.logwatch.org/tabs/download/) and get your files.

Cordially,
Cassius Vinicius.

Sorry, just to clarify: I see that 7.3.6.cvs20090906-1ubuntu2 has the fixed version according to the comments, but this bug was reported against karmic, so unless that gets backported, it doesn't help.
