[Jeffrey Ness <716921@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The latest rsyslog4 package has been built and pushed to IUS testing,
this update resolves the above issue by sharing the logrotate.d/syslog
config file:

%changelog
* Fri Feb 11 2011 Jeffrey Ness <jeffrey.ness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 4.6.5-2.ius
- Moving logrotate file from rsyslog to syslog to mimic Fedora
  and to resolve LP#716921

We would really appreciate if you could test out this new package and
give us any feedback:

    yum install rsyslog4 --enablerepo=ius-testing

P.S. As this package has just been pushed it can take up to 24hours to
sync across all mirror servers.

Title:
  rsyslog4: logrotate error

Status in IUS Community Project:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I installed and started rsyslog4 from ius and stopped standard syslog
  from original centos.

  rsyslog4-4.4.2-5.ius.el5 include /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog which is in
  conflict with /etc/logrotate.d/syslog from sysklogd-1.4.1-46.el5.

  Logrotate complains as follows

  | From: Cron Daemon
  | Subject: Cron run-parts /etc/cron.daily
  | 
  | /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
  | 
  | error: syslog:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/messages
  | error: found error in /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron , skipping

  As a workaroud I can
  # rm /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
  or
  # rpm -e sysklogd

  The best solution probably is to have not a separate logrotate file
  for rsyslog4, but share /etc/logrotate.d/syslog with sysklogd, as
  rsyslog-3.22.1-3.el5_5.1 from official centos repository does.
