Package: logrotate Version: 3.7-2 Severity: normal I had an syntax error in a file in /etc/logrotate.d/, referencing a file to rotate with a typo in the directory. Logrotate didn't send any error message, and the file grew to enourmous size. Logrotate should echo such an error to make cron send a mail.
