# apt-get install logtool (or dpkg-reconfigure)
debconf:
Manual configuration of logtool's database? No
Do you want to use the ... level regular expressions? Yes
What do you want the ... level of regular expressions to do? exclude
# apt-get --reinstall install logtool
Preparing to unpack .../logtool_1.2.8-8+b2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking logtool (1.2.8-8+b2) over (1.2.8-8+b2) ...
dpkg: warning: logtool: conffile '/etc/logtool/exclude' is not a plain file or
symlink (= '/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid')
dpkg: error processing archive
/var/cache/apt/archives/logtool_1.2.8-8+b2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
