Ok, so the bug belongs to rsyslog... I do not know how to reassign it myself, so thanks to the person who will do it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This does not belong on logrotate, but on the package including an /etc/logrotate.d/ script which contains the "invoke-rc.d rotate" command. Please find that script and reassign this bug to the appropriate package. Logrotate itself does not contain any such call to invoke-rc.d. -- Paul Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#728682: reassign to logrotate

We cannot really teach invoke-rc.d and policy-rc.d about it in the general case. What is happening is that invoke-rc.d is warning you that it is sending a non-standard action to policy-rc.d. That warning doesn't show up otherwise. For now, it would be best for logrotate to use "--quiet" to call invoke-rc.d with custom actions. That said, I am unsure if a cron script is the proper place to use invoke-rc.d, it is certainly not its intended (and expected!) use profile. We usually control cronjobs through /etc/default/ or automatically (so as to avoid running them when the package is in removed but not purged state), and not through runlevels... Anyway, I am reassigning the bug to logrotate. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
