 ---------------------- yum End ------------------------- 

All of this stuff is from Mar 15 2007 rather than Mar 15 2008.

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

logrotate-3.7.4-8
logwatch-7.3-5

How reproducible:

Run logwatch against a /var/log/yum.log file that contains logs that exceed one
year in age.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a default configuration of logwatch and logrotate
2. Let /var/log/yum.log age more than one year without being rotated
3. Check output of logwatch
  
Actual results:

logwatch returns packages listed for the Month/Day for all years present in
/var/log/yum.log

Expected results:

logwatch returns packages only for the Month/Day of the current year

Additional info:

Since yum.log doesn't log the year I think the best solution to this issue is to
have the default configuration of logrotate for rotation of this log be at least
yearly rather than just being based on log size, which in some cases won't get
the rotation done in time.

Perhaps yum could log the year and logwatch could be expected to account for
that in which case logrotate isn't involved. Please let me know if you think I
should file this against different components.
