Package: logrotate
Version: 3.11.0-0.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
logrotate does not ever recover from a corrupted statefile.
Reproducer :
- Install logrotate
- Run by hand "/etc/cron.daily/logrotate" # The first logrotate run will
generate the statefile "var/lib/logrotate/status"
- Modify "/var/lib/logrotate/status" by removing the first line in order to
corrupt the file.
- Re-run "/etc/cron.daily/logrotate" and you will get something like this
"error: bad top line in state file /var/lib/logrotate/status" every time you
run logrotate.
logrotate never recovers if the statefile is corrupted unless you remove it or
fix the corruption by hand.
The following upstream[1] commit introduce in 3.12.0 version is fixing the
situation[2]
