I recently upgraded to Intrepid on my Acer laptop, and I came across a
similar problem:
$ ls -lah syslog*
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm 58 2008-11-25 10:37 syslog
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm 242K 2008-11-25 10:36 syslog.0
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm 762M 2008-11-24 02:00 syslog.1.gz
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm 2
I just noticed that it is also the case with kern.log:
$ ls -lah kern.log*
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm 178K 2008-11-25 10:49 kern.log
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm 15G 2008-11-24 01:05 kern.log.0
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm 118M 2008-11-18 09:40 kern.log.1.gz
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm 69M 2008-11-17 11:13 kern.
