Package: logwatch
Version: 7.4.0+svn20130529rev144-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Logwatch reports contain perl error output from exim script, when ran
with an almost empty exim log file (this can happen when exim is removed
soon after installation):

 --------------------- EXIM Begin ------------------------

 Use of uninitialized value $StartQueue in numeric gt (>) at
/usr/share/logwatch
/scripts/services/exim line 312, <STDIN> line 1.
 Use of uninitialized value $EndQueue in numeric gt (>) at
/usr/share/logwatch/s
cripts/services/exim line 312, <STDIN> line 1.

 ---------------------- EXIM End -------------------------

The attached patch fixes this.

Best,
Teemu
