The /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld script in mysql-server-3.23.56-1.72 invokes
"mysqladmin flushlogs" in the prerotate and postrotate sections. If mysql
has a root password, then these steps fail. It is possible to give the
mysql root password on the command line, but /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld is
world readable.
This bug is reported in Bugzilla 58035 as fixed in 3.23.47-4, but it's
obviously not in 3.23.56-1.72. Strangely, in 3.23.56-1.80, mysqld is
killed with signal HUP, but this is apparently not ideal either, according
to a comment in the Bugzilla report.
Can the protections on /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld be changed without breaking
something, or is the kill the best solution? Any idea why the .72 and .80
versions are different?
