Package: openvswitch-switch
Version: 1.9.3+git20131029-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Some time after the last update I received email from the cron daemon with the
following error:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
logrotate_script: 1: cd: can't cd to /var/run/openvswitch
After further inspection I noticed that part of the content of the file
"/etc/logrotate.d/openvswitch-switch" changed from this (pre update):
[...]
postrotate
if [ -e /var/run/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.pid ]; then
ovs-appctl -t ovs-vswitchd vlog/reopen
fi
if [ -e /var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid ]; then
ovs-appctl -t ovsdb-server vlog/reopen
fi
endscript
to this (post update):
[...]
postrotate
for pidfile in `cd /var/run/openvswitch && echo *.pid`; do
ovs-appctl -t "${pidfile%%.pid}" vlog/reopen
done
endscript
If the openvswitch-switch package is installed but was not running since
the last reboot then the directory "/var/run/openvswitch" does not exist
and the cronjob that tries to rotate the logs has an error.
The problem is easily solved by the following patch. Best regards.
