Description Martin Frodl 2014-11-11 15:34:22 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #888007 +++

Description of problem:
logwatch should suppress smartd copyright message in its output, as has been agreed upon multiple times (bug 673758, bug 888007). The file /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/smartd, which is responsible for smartd log processing, searches for this message in an obsolete format when attempting to remove it, cf. line 120:

          || ($ThisLine =~ /^smartd .*Copyright \(C\) [0-9-]+ by Bruce Allen/)

In earlier smartd versions, the copyright message used to be indeed a single line, which is, however, not the case anymore:

# smartd -d
smartd 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-3.10.0-195.el7.x86_64] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-13, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org
...

To match the actual message, line 120 needs to be replaced by two separate lines such as these (inspired by the patch used to fix bug 888007):

          || ($ThisLine =~ /^.*Copyright \(C\) [0-9-]+ by Bruce Allen/)
          || ($ThisLine =~ /^smartd [0-9\.]+ [0-9-]+/)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
