[Bug 1659902] Re: Please sync logrotate from Debian testing

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

logrotate 3.11.0-0.1ubuntu1 is available in Ubuntu 17.10 and later, so I
believe this can be marked as fix released.

If there are specific bugs (like the ones mentioned in the description)
which should be fixed in older Ubuntu releases, they may qualify for
Stable Release Updates. Please take a look at the SRU Procedure [1]
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure) when it comes
to these.

** Changed in: logrotate (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

Title:
  Please sync logrotate from Debian testing

Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  logrotate 3.8.7 contains multiple bugs, including:

  1) error creating output file [e.g.] /var/log/syslog.1.gz: File exists
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734688
  I encounter this bug on many machines, with many different logfiles, both system logs and application logs.

  2) segfault with certain configuration/path combos
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818793
  The submitter mentions a specific set of conditions, but they are not limited to these alone, as confirmed in additional reports, and in my own testing.
