Comment 3 Constantin Dunayev 2013-06-14 10:45:54 UTC
downgraded 7.2.6 does not switch date/time

Comment 4 Constantin Dunayev 2013-06-14 10:54:53 UTC
It seems, that it doesn't switch time, it simply repeats the random parts of older logs.
The same messages are found in previous /var/log/messages-20130609
