Public bug reported:
This was found in Ubuntu 16.04. I have not tested other versions.
The /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate/awstats/prerotate.sh script does
not run by default, because the 'www-data' user does not have a valid
shell by default.
root@www:~# bash -x /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate/awstats/prerotate.sh
+ UPDATE_SCRIPT=/usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh
+ '[' -x /usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh ']'
+ su -l -c /usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh www-data
This account is currently not available.
We could give www-data a valid shell but my preferred fix is to edit
/etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate/awstats/prerotate.sh and explicitly
specify the shell with '-s /bin/bash':
diff -u ~/prerotate.sh /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate/awstats/prerotate.sh
