[Touch-packages] [Bug 1644996] Re: logrotate config uses syslog group
This bug was fixed in the package logrotate - 3.14.0-4ubuntu3 --- logrotate (3.14.0-4ubuntu3) disco; urgency=medium * Fix typo in 'adm' group name. logrotate (3.14.0-4ubuntu2) disco; urgency=medium * Use group 'adm' instead of 'syslog' when rotating logs.

This bug doesn't exist in Debian, it's only Ubuntu related workaround for Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty), see LP bug #1258202 logrotate (3.8.6-1ubuntu2) trusty; urgency=low * debian/logrotate.conf: use group 'syslog' by default when rotating logs, otherwise logrotate will refuse to rotate logs in /var/log whose owning group is now syslog instead of root. LP: #1258202. -- Steve LangasekThu, 05 Dec 2013 10:35:47 -0800 Ubuntu developers, please change /etc/logrotate.conf line su root syslog to su root adm Or maybe we can remove this line from /etc/logrotate.conf , because in Debian logrotate package there are no such line since 2013 ... ** Tags added: bionic regression-release xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to logrotate in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1644996 Title: logrotate config uses syslog group Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The default logrotate config uses the "syslog" group. > # use the syslog group by default, since this is the owning group > # of /var/log/syslog. > su root syslog This is not correct anymore since 16.04, because: 1.
