Subject: since i installed rsyslog /var/log/syslog.0 did not got logrotated
Package: rsyslog
Version: 3.16.2-1~Xk2c1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
I have installed rsyslog from source on ubuntu hardy.
Formally i used sysklogd as systemlogger.

Since then the files '/var/log/messages.0' and '/var/log/syslog.0' did not
got rotated. It seems to me rsyslog does not use those '*.0' files and
instead uses '*.1' as the first rotated logfile.

This leaves crap behind when "upgrading" from sysklogd to rsyslog.
The numbering sheme doesn't really matter to me but please add a little
script that rotates '*.0' if it already exists.
