*** Bug 429467 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Tomas Smetana 2008-01-21 07:47:46 UTC

I can't reproduce this but I think I found where the problem might be.  Just to
be sure: How do you have your SELinux set (output of /usr/sbin/getenforce)?

Comment 3 Tomas Smetana 2008-01-21 08:50:45 UTC

Here's a blind attempt to fix the error.  I would appreciate if you could help
me to test (one of) the following packages (never mind if you can't but it may
speed things up):

http://tsmetana.fedorapeople.org/logrotate/

I keep trying to reproduce the bug but I suspect it would require some more
SELinux gymnastic -- at least if the problem is where I think...

Comment 4 Marcin Kurek 2008-01-21 13:07:07 UTC

I was able to reproduce same problem here with current fc8 version of logrotate.
It segfaults on samba/old directory, but version from
http://tsmetana.fedorapeople.org/logrotate seems to be fine. To crash this time
after upgrading.

Comment 5 Marcin Kurek 2008-01-21 13:07:59 UTC

-To +No of coz. Sorry.

Comment 6 Tomas Smetana 2008-01-21 13:22:45 UTC

OK.  That's a good news.  I'll try to commit the new patch and build packages
for testing repositories as soon as possible.  Thanks.

Comment 7 Pat Gardner 2008-01-21 22:28:05 UTC

I can also confirm that logrotate-3.7.6-2.2.fc8.i386 from http://
tsmetana.fedorapeople.org/logrotate works ok.

To answer the earlier question, SELinux was set to enforcing.
