[Bug 1928327] Re: logrotate on 20.04 is ancient and misses important bugfixes

[lonix]

Frankly that went over my head, so unsure how to respond. :)

I used a VM to test (manually updating by installing a deb) and all
issues disappeared - that was my "test". I suppose that's not good
enough according to your comment.

Perhaps let's just close this issue? I'll need to wait for ubuntu 22.

(BTW: when you work on a new ubuntu version, do you just upgrade to the
latest package version, or do you follow the same approach you explained
above? i.e. you never just upgrade to "latest".)

Title:
  logrotate on 20.04 is ancient and misses important bugfixes

Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu focal/20.04 has logrotate version 3.14.0 which is ancient.
  There have been multiple important bugfixes since then
  (https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/releases).

  Ubuntu hirsute/21.04 does include the latest version, but that isn't
  an LTS version, so is not an option for many of us.

  Please consider adding the latest version to the 20.04 apt repository?

  (I'm aware of workarounds such as installing manually, building from
  source, etc. But like most users I prefer to rely on the apt
  repositories.)

  Thanks!!!
