Package: rsyslog Version: 8.2006.0-1 Hi,
due to #963715 I stopped+disabled+masked rsyslog on a system. Now logrotate fails with Jun 27 00:00:28 server02 systemd[1]: Starting Rotate log files... Jun 27 00:00:32 server02 logrotate[151983]: Failed to kill unit rsyslog.service: Unit rsyslog.service not loaded.

Jun 27 00:00:32 server02 systemd[1]: Failed to start Rotate log files. because the script /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate fails with Failed to kill unit rsyslog.service: Unit rsyslog.service not loaded. Please alter the script to not fail if rsyslog is not up. Best regards, Christian Göttsche
