[Bug 516008] Re: logrotate.d/arno-iptables-firewall.conf references rsyslog

[Andy Brown]

This should also remove the dependency on rsyslog which in my view is
wrong at best. This causes other syslog daemons not to be available to
users, when in reality there is no real reason for this other than
convenience that arno-iptables-firewall has a script that helps with
rsyslog setup, but in reality it is no more or less reliant on any
syslog daemon.

In my case it stops me using one or the other which is unacceptable.

Title:
  logrotate.d/arno-iptables-firewall.conf references rsyslog

Status in “arno-iptables-firewall” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: arno-iptables-firewall

  The arno-iptables-firewall package ships with a logrotate script, that is enabled by default and references rsyslog.
  Though, arno-iptables-firewall does not require rsyslog to be installed. Also, if rsyslog is replaced on ubuntu
  by syslog-ng, then logrotate will fail due to arno-iptables-firewall cannot be executed. As both rsyslog and syslog-ng ship their own logrotate configuration, I'd not expect arno-iptables-firewall to take care of reloading the syslog daemon.

  Please remove the postrotate entry from logrotate.d/arno-iptables-
  firewall.conf.

  This bug is also present in debian unstable.
