In package perl-perfSONAR_PS-Toolkit-3.4.1-1.pSPS.noarch there is a file
/etc/cron.hourly/logscraper.cron which is generating error messages like:

> gzip: /var/log/.messages-20150203.gz: No such file or directory
> gzip: /var/log/.messages-20150202.gz: No such file or directory
> gzip: /var/log/.messages-20150201.gz: No such file or directory

I believe that is due to extraneous "." characters in these lines:

> open( LOGFILE, "gunzip -c $log_dir.$l |" ) or die "can't open pipe
> to $log_dir.$l\n";
> }
> else {
> open( LOGFILE, $log_dir.$l ) or die "can't open $log_dir.$l\n";

and

> open( LOGFILE, "gunzip -c $log_dir.$l |" ) or die "can't open pipe
> to $log_dir.$l\n";
> }
> else {
> open( LOGFILE, $log_dir.$l ) or die "can't open $log_dir.$l\n";
>

(in two different while blocks in the file).


Does that look correct to anyone else?
