@#5: no, bug #13854564 produces an error on `# logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf`, while the same command works properly as expected here.
I have now seen (guessed) that /etc/cron.daily/logrotate is not run (status file's mtime is from running logrotate manually), /etc/cron.daily/apport is not run (should remove old crash reports, but I still have all of them), and /etc/cron.daily/dpkg is not run (/var/backups/ is empty); and finally, by grepping from syslogs, that anacron has been "considered" (lines from /etc/cron.*/0anachron), but never actually been run. So the present problem has little to do with logrotate, it's only a symptom of an anacron problem. I see in forums that this sometimes happens in a variety of rather individual, weird situations, I think I now must track the anachron problem on my own, and the present report no longer should be considered, sorry. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385537 Title: logrotate does not rotate logs (rsyslog) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logrotate/+bug/1385537/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
