Testing on saucy, problem no longer exists. This makes sense as it contains logrotate 3.8.3; ability to have spaces in compressoptions was patched in as of debian package version 3.8.1-5.
I tried installing the trusty build of logrotate on precise and it failed wanting a slightly newer libacl1. You could go down a rathole of trying to install that (warning, it's likely to want a newer glibc, then you're in a real mess...) Or build newer logrotate from source. Or just temporarily kludge around it, e.g.: compresscmd /usr/local/bin/xz-for-apache-logrotate compressoptions -- # cat > /usr/local/bin/xz-for-apache-logrotate << _EOF_ #!/bin/sh exec xz -vvz9e --lzma2=dict=64MiB,mf=bt4,nice=273 --threads=3 _EOF_ # chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/xz-for-apache-logrotate *IF* those compressoptions were delivered by an apache package that's part of the standard repositories for precise, that's a bug in the apache package. It shouldn't be trying to use options that cannot be parsed by the logrotate of the associated release. If you pulled the package from a forward Ubuntu release, you caused the problem; if it's from a PPA or similar, and you are using it on an Ubuntu release it's documented to be used with, it's a bug in the PPA... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662312 Title: Cannot handle spaces in compressoptions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logrotate/+bug/662312/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
