Package: logrotate Version: 3.14.0-4 Severity: normal Tags: newcomer Dear Maintainer,
I noticed that some log files in /var/log are not being rotated. e.g. kern.log, syslog etc. There are no files ending with .1 or .gz. The files keep getting bigger. I found on the internet: https://askubuntu.com/questions/695999/var-log-syslog-not-rotating. After I make the change it seems to work. Extract from the website: " Based on Samuel's comment, modified /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate #!/bin/sh if [-d /run/systemd/system]; then systemctl kill -s HUP --kill-who = main rsyslog.service else invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate> /dev/null fi " Is it a bug or do I have an understanding problem somewhere? -- Package-specific info: Contents of /etc/logrotate.d total 100 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 120 Apr 19 2019 alternatives -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 442 Jun 18 2020 apache2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 173 May 28 2019 apt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79 Feb 13 2019 aptitude -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 297 Aug 20 2019 asterisk -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 130 Aug 29 2018 btmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 May 26 2018 certbot -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 112 Apr 19 2019 dpkg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 313 Apr 4 2018 fail2ban -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234 Mar 1 2018 iaxmodem -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 419 Jan 28 2019 lighttpd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97 Jun 18 2020 log2ram -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 802 Jan 29 2020 mysql-server -r--r--r-- 1 root root 111 May 15 07:45 ncp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182 Nov 11 2020 openvpn -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155 Oct 26 2019 php7.3-fpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1029 Jan 25 2019 psaccs_atop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 541 Jan 25 2019 psaccu_atop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 124 Jul 10 2019 redis-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 501 Feb 26 2019 rsyslog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 891 Sep 2 2019 samba -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 188 Jun 15 2020 ufw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 235 Jun 8 2019 unattended-upgrades -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 305 Sep 2 2019 winbind -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 145 Feb 19 2018 wtmp -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.9 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: arm64 (aarch64) Foreign Architectures: armhf Kernel: Linux 5.10.17-v8+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages logrotate depends on: ii cron [cron-daemon] 3.0pl1-134+deb10u1 ii libacl1 2.2.53-4 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libpopt0 1.16-12 ii libselinux1 2.8-1+b1 ii systemd-sysv 241-7~deb10u7 Versions of packages logrotate recommends: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20180807cvs-1 logrotate suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
