Package: aide
Version: 0.13.1-2
Severity: important

Unless I comment out the setting of no clobber "set -C" at the top of
the aide script I get the following error:

/etc/cron.daily/aide:
/etc/cron.daily/aide: line 277: /tmp/aidenxaiq8E: cannot overwrite
existing file
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/aide exited with return code 1
