sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lvoytek/mysql-fix-logrotate
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Thanks for the feedback, Andreas.
If the logrotate service is ONLY supposed to be triggered via the timer,
then that could be a separate bug as it is definitely running on every
boot on my 19.10 install.
I took the exit status of the ping command from the man page for
mysqladmin and also performe
Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu, and for your troubleshooting and
the debian MR.
The logrotate systemd service is actually triggered by a timer, and not
by a reboot specifically. You can view when it last run, and when it
will run, with the command "systemctl list-timers".

I've crated a merge request to improve the postrotate script to more
