Re: NoDefaultSyslog Breaks Logwatch on Clean Install

["Gerald B. Cox" <gbcox@xxxxxx>]

Thanks Matt... I did review this earlier and updated before I posted here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1462615

By clean install, what I meant was that I had to do a complete reinstall of my

F25 installation (reformat of partition) because I couldn't get the recovery tools

on the LiveDVD to function properly.  It got to the point where it was just faster to

do the re-install than to keep hacking away at the LiveDVD tools.

After I re-installed I applied all the current updates.

I would expect that it "should" work out of the box.  If changes/pre-requisites are

required due to the syslog change that should have been incorporated into the

logwatch rpm. 

People shouldn't have to do endless Google searches and hack away to get things to

work. 

If we don't want to adequately support logwatch then we should remove it from the repository and

recommend people use something else or whatever.

Do we have a process for initiating removal due to inadequate support?

Logwatch was updated to address this. See
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864872>. By "clean
install" do you mean "install and add logwatch from the release tree
rather than updates"? If it's broken including the update, please
reopen or file a new bug.
