Package: rsyslog
Version: 8.2102.0-2
Severity: wishlist
rsyslog should use separate entries for each log file in
/etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog. Otherwise, if there is any issue
with some log file, none of the log files will be rotated;
so, a bug in a package could affect the log files from
other packages. For instance, I got that:
May 02 00:00:13 zira logrotate[1316487]: error: Compressing program wrote
following message to stderr when compressing log /var/log/lpr.log.1:
May 02 00:00:13 zira logrotate[1316487]: gzip: stdin: warning: file timestamp
out of range for gzip format
May 02 00:00:13 zira logrotate[1316487]: error: failed to compress log
/var/log/lpr.log.1
May 02 00:00:13 zira systemd[1]: logrotate.service: Main process exited,
code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
May 02 00:00:13 zira systemd[1]: logrotate.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'.
May 02 00:00:13 zira systemd[1]: Failed to start Rotate log files.
BTW, I'm wondering whether compressing with gzip is a good idea
because of that.
