*** Please type your report below this line *** Root, via
/etc/incron.d/foo, received an IN_IGNORED event when monitoring file
foo when emacs (I believe) deleted foo~ in a second editing session
after, in an initial editing session, changing the name of foo to foo~
and leaving it as a backup file.

The identical incrontab entry in the user's incrontab

/home/kop/tmp/incron/foo IN_MODIFY,IN_ATTRIB,IN_CLOSE_WRITE logger -t rootincrontab "Received event $%"

received no such event.  (AFAICT)

In any case IN_IGNORED is not documented in the
incrontab(5) man page.
