Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. I particularly appreciate the merge request - this makes
it much easier to assess and review.
Originally I thought this was an obviously correct fix. Now I'm not so
sure.
logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf -> does not produce the warning
logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server -> does produce the warning
The logrotate.d/ snippets are included via /etc/logrotate.conf using an
include directive. So the real configuration file does have a "su root
adm" directive that prevents the warning from appearing. That directive
sets the defaults for all the logrotate.d/ snippets.
Therefore I don't think "logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server"
uses an entry point that is defined to work. I understand it's useful
for testing and development of course, so perhaps there could be some
improvement made there for logrotate in general, but I don't think that
makes this a bug in MySQL packaging.
There are other files in logrotate.d/ (for example dpkg) that also
appear to follow this pattern: they don't all define their own "su"
directives and also rotate files directly under /var/log/.
Therefore I don't think this is a bug, so am marking this as Invalid and
am closing the merge request. If you think I'm wrong then please comment
and then reopen the bug.
