Description Martin Frodl 2014-08-05 12:41:44 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1126848 +++

Description of problem:

Starting from line 54, the default config file /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf reads:

# Use archives?  If set to 'Yes', the archives of logfiles
# (i.e. /var/log/messages.1 or /var/log/messages.1.gz) will
# be searched in addition to the /var/log/messages file.
# This usually will not do much if your range is set to just
# 'Yesterday' or 'Today'... it is probably best used with
# By default this is now set to Yes. To turn off Archives uncomment this.
#Archives = No
# Range = All

What was probably meant is the following:

# Use archives?  If set to 'Yes', the archives of logfiles
# (i.e. /var/log/messages.1 or /var/log/messages.1.gz) will
# be searched in addition to the /var/log/messages file.
# This usually will not do much if your range is set to just
# 'Yesterday' or 'Today'... it is probably best used with
# Range = All
# By default this is now set to Yes. To turn off Archives uncomment this.
#Archives = No

That is to say, the last line containing '# Range = All' should be placed two lines higher for the text to make sense.
