Hi,
After having my Knoppmyth R5F1 box be almost irreversibly killed by the root partition filling up with logs that did not rotate properly, then killing the backend by using apt-get to install software after fixing the disk space issue, I realize that I need logwatch installed to better monitor this system.
I was able to do a backup of my R5F1 box, and perform a successful upgrade to Knoppmyth 5.5. I want to use apt-get to install logwatch. To prepare, I edited the /etc/apt/sources.list file. I commented out the unstable repository (deb
http://ftp.debian.org unstable main contrib non-free) and added "deb
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny main" since the one stable repository included with Knoppmyth did not include logwatch.
In order to install logwatch, several other packages need to be installed as well. Here is the output of apt-get instal -s logwatch:
Code:
root@rocmythtv:/etc# apt-get install -s logwatch

My question is, will this damage Knoppmyth and mythtv in any way? Does anyone else have logwatch installed in version 5.5? If so, how did you go about this without any unintended negative consequences?
Thanks,
Ken
