Bug#1057135: sympa: Logrotate configuration invokes an invalid command to refresh rsyslog rotation

[Gonzalo Cao Cabeza de Vaca]

Package: sympa
Version: 6.2.70~dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

current /etc/logrotate.d/sympa configuration is failing as we are now using systemd

/var/log/sympa.log {
missingok
notifempty
rotate 14
minsize 1M
maxsize 10M
compress
delaycompress
create 640 sympa sympa
postrotate
if [ -e /proc/1/exe ] && readlink -f /proc/1/exe | grep -q 'systemd' ; then
systemctl try-reload-or-restart sympa
else
invoke-rc.d --quiet sympa reload > /dev/null
fi
invoke-rc.d --quiet rsyslog rotate > /dev/null || true <- THIS IS THE PROBLEM
endscript
}

/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: 538: /etc/init.d/rsyslog: not found

I suggest to use new rsyslog-rotate command as rsyslog it self uses in their logrotate config

postrotate
/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate
endscript

so new config should be something like

/var/log/sympa.log {
missingok
notifempty
rotate 14
minsize 1M
maxsize 10M
compress
delaycompress
create 640 sympa sympa
postrotate
if [ -e /proc/1/exe ] && readlink -f /proc/1/exe | grep -q 'systemd' ; then
systemctl try-reload-or-restart sympa
else
invoke-rc.d --quiet sympa reload > /dev/null
fi
/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate
endscript
}

regards
