For me...
$ ls -l /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Apr 4 12:07 /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch ->
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
We have different logwatch programs... or is the file date when it was
installed?
$ rpm -q logwatch
logwatch-7.2.1-1.fc5
This is what yum info shows as being the current version
The last logwatch report I have begins with:
