[SOLVED] - Odroid-XU4 : Logwatch processes wrong date

Postby nmset » Sun Aug 05, 2018 11:39 am

Since installing an Odroid-XU4, logwatch constantly processes a wrong date, and the log analysis is almost empty, reporting only disk space usage and lm_sensors.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')################### Logwatch 7.4.3 (04/27/16) ####################
Processing Initiated: Sun Aug 5 13:24:16 2018
Date Range Processed: yesterday
( 2006-Jan-21 )
Period is day.
Detail Level of Output: 5
Type of Output/Format: mail / text
Logfiles for Host: host.domain.tld
##################################################################


In the above report header, the right processing date is reported, for a wrong date range. The latter keeps incrementing. For yesterday's processing date (Aug 6), the date range is 2006-Jan-20.

System's date is rightly set. systemd-timesyncd is up.

I could not find a similar problem on the web, don't have any clue and looking for help to resolve this.

Thanks.

This is related to perl-date-manip package. Removing that package resolves the problem.

N.B. : This upgrade (perl-date-manip 6.60-1 -> 6.72-1) triggered the same bad behaviour on an Odroid-U2.

How do we tag as solved?

Did it by editing the title. Thought there was a function for that.
