Comment 1 Jan Kurik 2016-02-24 14:24:40 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

Sorry for replying late on this bug.  I will just revert the change that caused this madness...
Comment 5 Harald Reindl 2016-07-19 14:47:45 UTC 
No need to revert - just ship a proper rsyslog snippet

There can be systems with logrotate but without rsyslog.  The output of journalctl looks really crazy with logrotate logging to syslog.  See the attachment.

I will revert the change now but I am open to discuss alternative solutions for f25+.
