#8 is a good analysis... this change breaks manually running logrotate with a specific file as argument. It doesn't seem to affect automatic rotation due to the su line in /etc/logrotate.conf.
Seems that making root:syslog the default for all logrotate scripts would fix this behavior, as would reverting ownership of /var/log to root:root. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1278193 Title: logrotate skip the rotation of many files under /var/log due to bad group ownership To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logrotate/+bug/1278193/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
