For APT maybe or systemd/journald.
No, I don't think I have anything that should affect --reinstall. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems normal that with --reinstall, the package gets configured (ditto with an upgrade). So, it is normal that install -o root -g adm -m 0640 /dev/null /var/log/monit.log gets executed, which copies /dev/null to /var/log/monit.log, hence the problem. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
