User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.10)

Description of problem:
logwatch should be extended for better parsing up2date log file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
logwatch-4.3.2-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create some up2date error conditions
2. take a look at logwatch output

  

Actual Results:  Some examples:

missing reason:

 --------------------- up2date Begin ------------------------ 
**Unmatched Entries**
Error communicating with server. The message was:
 ---------------------- up2date End ------------------------- 

Caused by:

[Thu Sep 15 04:02:04 2005] up2date updating login info
[Thu Sep 15 04:02:04 2005] up2date logging into up2date server
[Thu Sep 15 04:02:04 2005] up2date A socket error occurred: (111, 'Connection
refused'), attempt #1
[Thu Sep 15 04:02:09 2005] up2date A socket error occurred: (111, 'Connection
refused'), attempt #2
[Thu Sep 15 04:02:14 2005] up2date A socket error occurred: (111, 'Connection
refused'), attempt #3
[Thu Sep 15 04:02:19 2005] up2date A socket error occurred: (111, 'Connection
refused'), attempt #4
[Thu Sep 15 04:02:24 2005] up2date A socket error occurred: (111, 'Connection
refused'), attempt #5
[Thu Sep 15 04:02:24 2005] up2date Error communicating with server. The message was:
Connection refused

-> note that here it looks like that up2date (up2date-4.2.57-2) logging can be
improved also


Displaying unneccessary contents:
 
 --------------------- up2date Begin ------------------------ 
 **Unmatched Entries**
 Updating package profile
 Updating package profile
 ---------------------- up2date End ------------------------- 

Caused by:

[Fri Sep 16 11:56:54 2005] up2date Updating package profile
[Fri Sep 16 11:56:57 2005] up2date Updating package profile


Expected Results:  Better support of up2date log file

Proposed patch.

Hello,
thank you for your notice. The attached patch fixes these two problems. Could
you please test this patch, and attach message if the results are right or if
there is any problem with up2date logwatch output.

Looks like working for at least "Updating package profile"

BTW: this problem occurs at leastup to version logwatch-6.0.1-4, so the version
of RHEL4 should also be fixed.
