Looking in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf, it starts off like this: # Local configuration options go here (defaults are in //usr/share/logwatch/logw atch.conf) However that path is invalid (as well as having a double slash). The correct path is: /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
Thank you for your bug report. This problem is fixed in the last version (logwatch-7.1-4).
