Description DaveG 2013-08-15 11:10:29 UTC
Description of problem:
Log file rotation script (/etc/logrotate.d/privoxy) uses a wild-card selector. This results in recursive rotation of already rotated files with the standard logrotate configuration. Extra rotated log files are zero size.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Spotted on F18, still in privoxy.git master on pkgs.fedoraproject.org.


How reproducible:
install and use privoxy, run logrotate.


Actual results:
ls /var/log/privoxy
logfile
logfile-date1
logfile-date1-date2
logfile-date1-date2-date3
...
logfile-date2
...


Expected results:
logfile
logfile-date1
logfile-date2
...


Additional info:
The log file name is set in the packaged configuration so the logrotate script can hard-code the full path name:
# diff /etc/logrotate.d/privoxy.orig /etc/logrotate.d/privoxy
1c1
< /var/log/privoxy/* {
---
> /var/log/privoxy/logfile {
