Public bug reported:
The logrotate config for wtmp on focal looks like this:
# no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate it here
/var/log/wtmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
minsize 1M
rotate 1
}
It only rotates if wtmp is larger than 1M. In the case of a fresh
install that has a wtmp smaller than 1M it won't rotate and
/var/log/wtmp.1 won't exist, in this case we should use /var/log/wtmp
I've attached a patch.
