Bug Description

As in subject. Logwatch 7.4.2 returns an error message in its output, "Redundant argument in sprintf at /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/amavis line 1338". Appears to be the same as this debian bug which has been fixed in upstream, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=819572.
