Comment 5 Kamil Dudka 2016-06-28 14:21:46 UTC

This is caused by the following upstream commit:

https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/commit/r3-8-5~20

... which intentionally reverted the original fix:

https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/commit/r3-7-8~11

Should we revert the revert to get this fixed?

Comment 6 Kamil Dudka 2016-06-30 11:25:08 UTC

Honza is fine with reverting the revert for RHEL-7.  There is still a question how to solve this properly in upstream.  We also need to discover why the file gets corrupted.

Comment 10 Kamil Dudka 2016-07-11 10:36:01 UTC

The fix for this bug causes a regression: bug #1354203 comment #15

I will revert the fix and remove this bug from the RHEL-7.3 erratum.

Comment 12 Kamil Dudka 2016-07-11 11:45:58 UTC

The fix for this bug introduces a change in behavior, which we try to avoid in RHEL.  Additionally, it already caused a regression (bug #1354203 comment #15).  I am closing this bug as WONTFIX.  Feel free to reopen if you have a business justification for it.
