Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.24 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hi,
since a couple of days, I'm getting strange error mails from cron
daemon with subject
"Cron <root@mail> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-
parts --report /etc/cron.daily )"
from some hosts. They're all related to executing /etc/cron.daily/dpkg
but with slightly different content. One host even sends 2(!) mails.
Here's the content:
Host1:
/etc/cron.daily/dpkg:
cp: cannot create regular file 'dpkg.status': File exists
mv: cannot move './/dpkg.status.5.gz' to './/dpkg.status.6.gz': No such

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: destination /var/lib/logrotate/status.tmp already exists,
renaming to /var/lib/logrotate/status.tmp-2018040206.backup
error: error renaming temp state file /var/lib/logrotate/status.tmp
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
If I execute /etc/cron.daily/dpkg manually, it always finishes without
error.
In case it matters, these hosts are setup as LXC-based OS containers
running on libvirt. But I think I've seen these mails from physical
hosts in the past as well.
