Bug#602890: ntop: logrotate errors after removal

In fact no log file was created in /var/log/ntop and the directory was deleted upon package removal. I think this is a logrotate bug, as "okmissing" is specified in the logrotate configuration. In fact there is an open bug [1] about that, as other packages are affected by the same issue. Nevertheless, there is an easy workaround, i.e. touching /var/log/ntop/access.log in the postinst, so the directory never gets deleted on package removal. Thanks for the report, Cheers, Ludovico [1] http://bugs.debian.org/582630 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
