Dear Maintainer,
in bookworm, logrotate post-action does not work under sysvinit, because
/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate invokes systemctl in order to send SIGHUP
to the daemon.
A workaround is to install orphan-sysvinit-scripts, which diverts
/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate to the old, working version.
A fix would be:
1. drop "-iNONE" from /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service, to make rsyslogd
write its pidfile: not used for supervision, yet harmless;
2. replace the code in /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate with
pkill -HUP -F /run/rsyslogd.pid rsyslogd
This way, logrotate's post-action works under both systemd and sysvinit.
Best regards
g.b.
