Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
If there is a file in /etc/logrotate.d, which refers to some glob
pattern (in my case it was /var/log/mgetty/*.log), and there is no files
matching this pattern, logrotate stops upon processing this file and
doesn't process rest of file.
Such situation can happen if there is removed package, with only
configuration files present (logrotate scripts are typically marked as
configuration file), or program which generates these files is disabled
somehow (for example, mgetty is commented out in /etc/inittab) and all
its log files are rotated away.
Both situation are quite normal for multi-purpose machines.
In such case big and fast-growing log files, which happen to be
processed after "incorrect" logrotate.d entry are not rotated and can
overfull log partition and render system totally unusable.
In my case non-rotation of apache logs have caused overfull of /var and
thus stopping of accepting incoming mail.
Situation is quite hard to debug, because logrotate.d entry for package
which caused overfull (apache) was absolutely correct, and problem was
caused by unrelated and removed package.
