Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid
Ok, I recently noticed logrotate dying on the mysql rotations with a
vague error, and a few days after it seemed apache2 went as well. THis
si the error I'm seeing:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/apache2/*.log
error: error running shared postrotate script for
/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.err
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
I tried running logrotate manually, but the closest I got was an error
about not being able to rename the original file for compression. But
I'm at a loss as to what may be causing it. My logrotate scripts have
been unchanged for weeks/months (recently took out a couple entries in
the mysql ones for logs that didn't exist while trying to troubleshoot
this though.
You can see the debug output here:
http://azhrarn.underhanded.org/logrotate.txt
If there is any other information I can provide, or if I should forward
this to the mysql/apache2 packages, please let me know. I'm just
starting to pull out my hair as to why this would stop working. :)

This has the effect of never requiring a tempdir for scripts.
There's the possibility of large scripts running into stack
limits.
