Public bug reported:
we are debootstrapping a full bionic distribution into a directory.
After debootstrapping the permissions on /var/log are incorrect, causing
rsyslog to fail because it cannot write into the directory to create the
various files.
Also, in the postinst of the rsyslog package I see that systemd-tmpfiles is
attempted to be used to create the files defined in
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf, but from what I can tell this will never
work because of the systemd-tmpfiles manpage:
--create
If this option is passed, all files and directories marked with f,
F, w, d, D, v, p, L, c, b, m in the configuration files are
created or written to. Files and directories marked with z, Z, t, T,
a, and A have their ownership, access mode and security
labels set.
Since the files are configured with type "z" only ownership, access mode
and security will be updated.
