No, I don't think so... ;-) Log files can perfectly be empty when nothing
was logged (yet). ;-)

You're right, this occurs when the file is empty, which breaks the
script. I asked Jean-Michel Kelbert (Debian package maintainer) if he
wanted to take care of that, as he wrote the script initially.
I'm waiting for his feedback or patch, even if he seems quite busy
these days.

Thanks for your report, stay tuned.
