Package: release-notes With version 3.14.0 [1] logrotate split the configuration for btmp and wtmp into separate configuration files. There are bug reports regarding this issue: #945932, #928516, #922045.
Over at #946779 Julien suggested adding a section (5.3.10 ?). Maybe the section can be like the following: The shipped configurations for "/var/log/btmp" and "/var/log/wtmp" have been split from the main configuration file (/etc/logrotate.conf) into separate standalone files (/etc/logrotate.d/btmp respectively /etc/logrotate.d/wtmp). If you had modified /etc/logrotate.conf in this regard, make sure to re-adjust the two new files to your needs and drop any references to (b|w)tmp from the main file, to avoid logrotate skip rotation due to a duplicate definition.
