logwatch replaces hostname with number

[Nathan Crawford]

Binary package hint: logwatch

Release: Ubuntu 8.10
Package version: 7.3.6.cvs20080702-1ubuntu2
Expected results: Hostname is displayed in the subject line of Logwatch emails. eg, "Logwatch for hostname (Linux)"
Actual results: If the system's hostname is one of the following keywords, it is replaced with an associated integer:
yes => 1
no => 0
true => 1
false => 0
on => 1
off => 0
high => 10
med => 5
medium => 5
low => 0

In my case, the server is called "medium" (as in small, medium, large), which gets replaced with "5".
I've attached a patch for logwatch.pl.

Logwatch.pl in version 7.3.6.cvs20080702-1ubuntu3 has a typo around line 940:

> unless ($_ eq "hostname"} {

This causes syntax errors in the rest of the file.

The closing bracket for the unless statement should be a ")" (parentheses) instead of "}" (curly bracket).
