** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and
+
+ * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release.
+
+ * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
+ explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug
+
+ * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
+ package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes
+ the problem.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result
+ of this change.
+
+ * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
+ upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
+ to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
+ event of a regression.
+
+ * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
+ and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * Anything else you think is useful to include
+ * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and
the Technical Board
+ * and address these questions in advance
+

This was found in Ubuntu 16.04. I have not tested other versions.
The /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate/awstats/prerotate.sh script does
not run by default, because the 'www-data' user does not have a valid
shell by default.
root@www:~# bash -x /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate/awstats/prerotate.sh
+ UPDATE_SCRIPT=/usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh
+ '[' -x /usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh ']'
+ su -l -c /usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh www-data
This account is currently not available.
We could give www-data a valid shell but my preferred fix is to edit
/etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate/awstats/prerotate.sh and explicitly
specify the shell with '-s /bin/bash':
