Package: logrotate Version: 3.7.1-1 Followup-For: Bug #285858
Hi I manually added an amavisd-new logrotate.d file, but it didn't work automatically. After some weeks of observing, I decided to turn on verbose mode for logrotate and it turned out that there was an old exim4 logrotate file in the directory, but it contained a reference to a user (exim) that didn't exist anymore, since we're now using postfix. Logrotate aborted without running any rotates, so this is quite a problem. After removing the old exim4 file, logrotate worked normally again. Suggestion: the include of all files in /etc/logrotate.d/ may not be very reliable, if a single problem in one file can block all others from being processed. So it would be better to run each logrotate separately, like the crond does for cron.daily, cron.hourly, etc. Cheers Simon -- Package-specific info: Contents of /etc/logrotate.d total 68 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 187 Sep 4 20:32 amavisd-new -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 365 Mar 13 2004 apache -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 240 Aug 16 2004 apache2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 314 Jun 16 2003 atop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 384 Dec 9 2003 base-config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 209 Aug 17 10:08 clamav-daemon -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 215 May 17 02:52 clamav-freshclam -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111 Jun 12 17:28 dpkg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 151 Jun 11 2002 iptraf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 100 Jan 30 2004 kdm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79 Jan 30 2002 lvm-common -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1116 Mar 3 2005 mysql-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1014 Sep 14 2004 pure-ftpd-common -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 330 Mar 23 13:10 samba -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68 Aug 28 2004 scrollkeeper -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108 Apr 17 2003 shorewall -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 Jan 27 2003 vsftpd -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages logrotate depends on: ii anacron 2.3-11 a cron-like program that doesn't g ii base-passwd 3.5.10 Debian base system master password ii cron 3.0pl1-91 management of regular background p ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libselinux1 1.24-4 SELinux shared libraries Versions of packages logrotate recommends: ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
