This is really annoying... the obvious fix is to revert the permissions and ownership of /var/log/ if possible. But... why was the group changed? Anyone know? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to logrotate in

#8 is a good analysis... this change breaks manually running logrotate with a specific file as argument. It doesn't seem to affect automatic rotation due to the su line in /etc/logrotate.conf. Seems that making root:syslog the default for all logrotate scripts would fix this behavior, as would

I've went through this problem just now. The changes described in #5 solved the problem for me as well. The fix released in LP: #1258202 (logrotate version 3.8.6-1ubuntu2) adds those lines to the default logrotate.conf file, but I got some custom configs in mine and so I had to manually change

Yesterday I upgraded rsyslog from 7.4.4-1ubuntu2 to 7.4.4-1ubuntu2.1 on two machines (logrotate was already at 3.8.7-1ubuntu1), both of them gave me loads of insecure permissions in this morning's anacron output. What is the workaround --- fixing the su lines in the logrotate.conf files, or

I had the same experience when upgrading rsyslog [rsyslog:amd64 (7.4.4-1ubuntu2, 7.4.4-1ubuntu2.1)]. I manually added: # use the syslog group by default, since this is the owning group # of /var/log/syslog. su root syslog To top of the /etc/logrotate.conf, which resolved the problem. -- You
