[Bug 1730028] Re: logspam about Duplicate line for path "/var/log"

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package rsyslog - 8.32.0-1ubuntu3

---------------
rsyslog (8.32.0-1ubuntu3) bionic; urgency=medium

  * tmpfiles.d: Let var.conf to create /var/log with 'd' directive, and
    only adjust the permissions of /var/log with 'z' directive, thus
    avoiding warnings about duplicate lines for path /var/log. LP:
    #1730028

rsyslog (8.32.0-1ubuntu2) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Ensure correct permissions on files that rsyslog writes to. LP:
    #1761630
  * Drop upgrade scripts from pre-xenial.

Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in rsyslog source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Bionic:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Similar to bug 1484027, but that's marked 'Fix released', so something
  must have regressed in the meantime.

  $ journalctl | grep "Duplicate line" | wc -l
  58

  $ grep "/var/log " /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/*
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf:# Override systemd's default tmpfiles.d/var.conf to make /var/log writable by
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf:d /var/log 0775 root syslog -
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf:d /var/log 0755 - - -

  
  Ideally I'd see at most one line about this in my logs.

  Thanks
