Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7.1-3

Hi,

when a new log file is created, it is first created, and then chowned
and chmodded to the desired values. There is a small time window where
the file exists, but does not have the correct owner/mode.

If an application decides to access the file within that time window,
it might fail. This is a probable cause for #399930.

While this can be worked around in exim, it probably cannot in other
applications, which makes this a logrotate issue. Logrotate should
make sure that the file does only appear under the target name when it
already has the correct owner/mode, and it should also cater for the
case that the application itself has already taken care of creating
the new file.

Greetings
Marc
