Title:
  Please sync logrotate from Debian testing

Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
