Bug Description

I had this contents in my /etc/aliases before setting up Monit:

root: <email address hidden>

After installing Monit, I ceased to receive mail sent to root. I looked at /etc/aliases and the contents where:

monit: root

My line was not there anymore. Does Monit setup OVERWRITE /etc/aliases instead of adding it's line...?

Thank you

No, it shouldn't be the case. Monit _add_ line "monit: root", that's all. See postinst:
        echo "monit: root" >> /etc/aliases
        test -x /usr/bin/newaliases && newaliases || :
