Description Lincoln A Baxter 2003-05-28 00:30:15 UTC

emerge logwatch.

and the following is added to root's crontab:

0 0 * * * /usr/sbin/logwatch.pl 2>&1 > /dev/null


The problem is, this script does not exist. It does exist however, in 
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl

Either 

/usr/sbin/logwatch.pl should be a link to /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl

OR

logwatch.pl should be delivered to /usr/sbin.

OR the crontab should be updated with the path to the logwatch script in the
/usr/share directory.

Ahhh... I see this is fixed in a Masked ebuild.  Perhaps it is time to unmask 4.3.2.

Looks like drobbins already unmasked it
