Package: logrotate Version: 3.14.0-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
logrotate fails to start if openvswitch-switch is installed, because it tries to connect to openvswitch, which is started after networking: # systemctl status logrotate.service ● logrotate.service - Rotate log files Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/logrotate.service; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2019-01-10 11:54:26 CET; 17min ago Docs: man:logrotate(8) man:logrotate.conf(5) Process: 192 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 192 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Jan 10 11:54:25 debian64 logrotate[192]: 2019-01-10T10:54:25Z|00001|unixctl|WARN|failed to connect to /var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.202.ctl Jan 10 11:54:25 debian64 ovs-appctl[205]: ovs|00001|unixctl|WARN|failed to connect to /var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.202.ctl Jan 10 11:54:25 debian64 logrotate[192]: ovs-appctl: cannot connect to "/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.202.ctl" (No such file or directory) Jan 10 11:54:25 debian64 logrotate[192]: error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.log of '/var/log/openvswitch/*.log ' Jan 10 11:54:25 debian64 logrotate[192]: 2019-01-10T10:54:25Z|00001|unixctl|WARN|failed to connect to /var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.202.ctl Jan 10 11:54:25 debian64 logrotate[192]: ovs-appctl: cannot connect to "/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.202.ctl" (No such file or directory) Jan 10 11:54:25 debian64 logrotate[192]: error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log of '/var/log/openvswitch/*.log ' Jan 10 11:54:26 debian64 systemd[1]: logrotate.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Jan 10 11:54:26 debian64 systemd[1]: logrotate.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
