Package: rsyslog
Version: 8.34.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Between rsyslog package versions 8.24.0-1 and 8.34.0-1, after "logrotate" runs,
new "/var/log/syslog" and "/var/log/messages" files are created but ignored;
their sizes are 0 bytes, and rsyslogd continues writing to "/var/log/syslog.1"
and "/var/log/messages.1".
Comparing rsyslog package versions 8.24.0-1 and 8.34.0-1, the ExecStart line in
file "/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service" changed from
"ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n" to "ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n -iNONE".
Apparently, this change breaks log-rotate functionality. In
"/etc/init.d/rsyslog", when the function "do_rotate()" is changed from
do_rotate() {
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal HUP --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec
$DAEMON
}
to
do_rotate() {
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal HUP --quiet --exec $DAEMON
}
(removing "--pidfile $PIDFILE"), the log files rotate as expected.
In "/etc/init.d/rsyslog", the functions "do_start()" and "do_stop()" also use
the "--pidfile" argument, options which, based on the change to
"/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service", may no longer be needed. The package
maintainer can best determine whether or not those functions also need to be
changed.

This is indeed incorrect and the Debian package has been updated to use
/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate.
You should update your locally modified /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
accordingly.
