Package: debianutils
Version: 2.17
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/savelog
I use
savelog -q -d -j -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 1825 /var/log/mail.log
to rotate log files in /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd.
I get the following errors:
/etc/cron.daily/sysklogd:
bzip2: Input file /var/log//mail.log.20080430070724.bz2 already has .bz2
suffix.
bzip2: Input file /var/log//mail.log.20080501065412.bz2 already has .bz2
suffix.
[...]
This is because .bz2 ends with e digit (2).
The included patch fixes it for me.
thanks,
Marcello Nuccio
