--- Begin Message ---Package: logrotate Version: 3.7.8-6 short: logrotate complains about duplicate entries for /var/log/{wtmp,btmp} in /etc/logrotate.d . long: I have to keep the wtmp and btmp logfiles on all servers for much longer then just the default (1 month). For an easy configuration and to avoid a conflict about /etc/logrotate.conf on the next package upgrade I rolled out a local /etc/logrotate.d/wtmp.conf on each server: /var/log/wtmp { missingok create 0664 root utmp yearly rotate 100 } /var/log/btmp { missingok create 0660 root utmp yearly rotate 100 } Since then logrotate complains about the redefined entries for /var/log/{wtmp,btmp} on each run :-(. How am I supposed to override the package default configuration without error messages about duplicate config settings? Regards Harri

Yes, edit /etc/logrotate.conf dpkg will not overwrite it without asking you. Alternatively, you could use "dpkg-divert /etc/logrotate.conf" -- Paul Martin <[email protected]>
