Package: logrotate
Version: 3.14.0-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
totally reproducable is the issue that with something like
dateformat<tab>-%Y-%m-%d
(with "<tab>" meaning tab character "0x09") a logfile
logfile.log
is rotated into a file
logfile.log<tab>-2021-04-19
in contrast to the statement in the logrotate.conf man page that keys
and value are separated by whitespace and/or an optional equal ("=")
sign.
If I remember correctly I also get an error message if I use the config
keyword "rotate" like "rotate<tab>7" with daily rotation. A
"copytruncate" possibly also plays a role.
