Bug Description
The compression of /var/log/
The host user is usually not interested by the content of this file (he can get the list of packages with more user friendly tools).
This file would possibly be compressed a second time, while sending it to the recipient (email or http server).
We would make only the below change :
-------
j@lt:~$ diff /etc/cron.
30c30
< POPCON=
---
> POPCON=
49c49
< savelog -c 7 popularity-contest >/dev/null
---
> savelog -c 7 -l popularity-
67c67
< run_popcon > $POPCON
---
> run_popcon | gzip --best > $POPCON
j@lt:~$
