[Bug 1331891] Re: [systemd] /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog fails to reload rsyslog

This bug was fixed in the package rsyslog - 7.4.4-1ubuntu5

---------------
rsyslog (7.4.4-1ubuntu5) utopic; urgency=medium

  * Use "service" command in rsyslog's postrotate, since naked "reload"
    fails under non-upstart init. (LP: #1331891)

Title:
  [systemd] /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog fails to reload rsyslog

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog contains

          postrotate
                  reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
          endscript

  which works on Upstart but not on systemd. Therefore, after logs are
  rotated, rsyslog continues to write to the old files, leaving the new
  files empty. It should be changed to ‘service rsyslog reload’ or
  ‘invoke-rc.d rsyslog reload’ or something.
