Title:
  logrotate changing the date & time of files to today's date during
  second time execution while deleting old logs

Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  using ubuntu 14.04 ISO image
  logrotate version is 3.8.7

  below configuration i am using in logrotate:

  /home/data/logs/production_logs/int_conf??????.log*-????????
  /home/data/logs/production_logs/rou_stat.log*-????????
  /home/data/feedLogs/genericLog/*????????.*.dup
  /home/data/feedLogs/genericLog/*????????.*.log
  {
          rotate 0
          missingok
          sharedscripts
          firstaction
                  find /home/data/logs/production_logs -maxdepth 1 -mtime +10 -name "int_conf??????.log*-????????" -print -delete
                  find /home/data/logs/production_logs -maxdepth 1 -mtime +10 -name "rou_stat.log*-????????" -print -delete
                  find /home/data/feedLogs/genericLog -maxdepth 1 -mtime +10 -name "R????????.*.dup" -print -delete
                  find /home/data/feedLogs/genericLog -maxdepth 1 -mtime +10 -name "R????????.*.log" -print -delete
          endscript
  }

  results:
  when i run first time it is working as expected (removing old logs and not touching other logs)

  and when i run again it is not removing any logs as expected but
  changing timestamp so it is a problem as removing old logs is
  completely depend on modified timme (-mtime) on find command

  please suggest not to modify timestamp when i run second time
