Package: rsyslog
Version: 5.8.3-1
Severity: important
recently rsyslogd began to fail to rotate logs as cron.daily reports this error
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
Usage: /etc/init.d/rsyslog {start|stop|rotate|restart|force-reload|status}
invoke-rc.d: initscript rsyslog, action "reload" failed.
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/syslog of
'/var/log/syslog
'
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
I think that either logrotate has to change action from 'reload' to 'force-
reload' or
rsyslogd has to support the 'reload' action falling back to the proper
supported action,
the latter action being preferable since it makes rsyslog more robust.
As of today syslog files are not rotated anymore
