The proposed change added under https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa- service/+archive/ubuntu/2623 seems to have resolved my issue.
Before the change I received an email stating: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: error creating output file /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher.err.1.gz: File exists error: error creating output file /var/log/auth.log.1.gz: File exists run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 After applying the change I have received an email stating: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: destination /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher.err.1.gz already exists, renaming to /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher.err.1.gz-2017040406.backup I can also see what looks like a normal pattern of file names a modification dates: $ ls -l /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/ total 25772 -rw-r--r-- 1 apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng 0 Apr 4 06:26 apt-cacher.err -rw-r--r-- 1 apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng 297 Mar 31 13:40 apt-cacher.err.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng 0 Mar 31 06:26 apt-cacher.err.1.gz-2017040406.backup -rw-r--r-- 1 apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng 20 Mar 29 06:25 apt-cacher.err.2.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng 190 Mar 29 01:53 apt-cacher.err.3.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng 20 Mar 27 06:25 apt-cacher.err.4.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng 20 Mar 26 06:25 apt-cacher.err.5.gz ... Hopefully I will receive no email overnight tonight and log rotations will proceed as intended. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630516 Title: Logrotate doesn't clean old system logs, allowing them to fill the disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1630516/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
