Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7.1-2
Severity: minor
Hi,
logrotate with the dateext extension happily rotates logs that have
already been rotated, leading to wonderful file names like
ella-20040509.gz-20060215-20060216-20060217-20060218-20060219
This happens as soon as a wildcard (/var/log/foo/* { dateext...}) is
found in the configuration.
Logrotate should exclude files matching the mask of a file name
_generated_ by logrotate from rotation to allow wildcards to be used.
Greetings
Marc
