Package: syslog-ng Version: 3.1.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: sid
The upgrade to 3.x shipped a radically different syslog-ng.conf. (That could perhaps have been avoided?) Among many other changes, /var/log/messages is no longer used, OTOH, there is a new file /var/log/error. But the logrotate configuration in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng seems unchanged. This means /var/log/error will never be rotated and new incarnations /var/log/messages, all empty, will keep appearing. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33.2-core2-i (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages syslog-ng depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbi0 0.8.2-3 Database Independent Abstraction L ii libevtlog0 0.2.8~1-2 Syslog event logger library ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libpcre3 7.8-3 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages syslog-ng recommends: ii logrotate 3.7.8-6 Log rotation utility syslog-ng suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
