RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Prior to this update, the bacula packages were not distributed with the applybaculadate file. As a result, the logwatch cron script failed. The problem has been fixed by including the applybaculadate file in the bacula packages so that the the logwatch cron script now works as expected.

As Red Hat is somehow unable or unwilling to provide a fix since 11/2010,
so not within an acceptable timeframe for the Enterprise, here is a short
workaround for all who are experiencing the same issue like me:
- mkdir -p /etc/logwatch/scripts/shared
- touch /etc/logwatch/scripts/shared/applybaculadate
Fill file /etc/logwatch/scripts/shared/applybaculadate with the content of
this attachment.
