[Bug 1320201] Re: behaviour in debug mode doesn't match real behaviour

 

I tested the patch, and seems it works as expected.

Title:
  behaviour in debug mode doesn't match real behaviour

Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Situation: a single log file (no earlier rotates) and a logrotate
  status that says it is time to rotate.

  # ls -l /var/log/mail.log*
  -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 287 May 16 11:27 /var/log/mail.log

  # cat /var/lib/logrotate/status 
  logrotate state -- version 2
  "/var/log/mail.log" 2012-3-31

  # cat /tmp/test.conf 
  /var/log/mail.log
  {
  	rotate 4
  	weekly
  	missingok
  	notifempty
  	compress
  	delaycompress
  	sharedscripts
  	postrotate
  		reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
  	endscript
  }

  logrotate in debug mode will fail, because it simulates removing a
  non-existing mail.log.5.gz:

  # logrotate -d /tmp/test.conf; echo $?
  reading config file /tmp/test.conf
  reading config info for /var/log/mail.log

  logrotate's real behaviour handles this situation correctly:

  # logrotate -v /tmp/test.conf; echo $?
  reading config file /tmp/test.conf
  reading config info for /var/log/mail.log
