The manpage patch is the fix in ubuntu2, but there was also an ubuntu1 with additional changes from the last time the package was merged. See https://patches.ubuntu.com/l/logrotate/logrotate_3.8.7-2ubuntu2.patch for complete overview of changes.
Anyways, now that I look at that bug report, it looks like it has been forwarded but not included in Debian. So likely this will need to be merged? -- 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/1659902 Title: Please sync logrotate from Debian testing Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: logrotate 3.8.7 contains multiple bugs, including: 1) error creating output file [e.g.] /var/log/syslog.1.gz: File exists https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734688 I encounter this bug on many machines, with many different logfiles, both system logs and application logs. 2) segfault with certain configuration/path combos https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818793 The submitter mentions a specific set of conditions, but they are not limited to these alone, as confirmed in additional reports, and in my own testing.
