Package: logrotate
Version: 3.8.1-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Attempted to use /var/log/*/*.log to match /var/log/<machinename>/*.log on our
central syslog server
* What was the outcome of this action?
Logrotate only rotatated the first directory matched i.e.
/var/log/a/*.log was rotated
/var/log/b/*.log remained untouched
* What outcome did you expect instead?
All logs in all directories under /var/log to be rotated
