* tmpfiles.d: Let var.conf to create /var/log with 'd' directive, and only adjust the permissions of /var/log with 'z' directive, thus avoiding warnings about duplicate lines for path /var/log.

LP: #1761630 * Drop upgrade scripts from pre-xenial. -- Dimitri John Ledkov <x...@ubuntu.com> Mon, 09 Apr 2018 14:44:54 +0100 ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsyslog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730028 Title: logspam about Duplicate line for path "/var/log" Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in rsyslog source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Bionic: Invalid Bug description: Similar to bug 1484027, but that's marked 'Fix released', so something must have regressed in the meantime. $ journalctl | grep "Duplicate line" | wc -l 58 $ grep "/var/log " /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/* /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf:# Override systemd's default tmpfiles.d/var.conf to make /var/log writable by /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf:d /var/log 0775 root syslog - /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf:d /var/log 0755 - - - Ideally I'd see at most one line about this in my logs.
