Title:
  rsyslog log files failing to rotate

Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In focal, /etc/logrotate.conf contains:

     su root adm

  logrotate does not rotate files in /var/log:

     error: skipping "/var/log/syslog" because parent directory has insecure permissions
     (It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive
     in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation.

  Parent directory permissions:

    drwxrwxr-x  9 root syslog 4096 Apr 29 17:17 log
