Skipped first rotation by time after update to logrotate-3.8.6-12.el7.x86_64
Last modified: 2017-08-01 12:19:24 EDT
Description of problem: Skipped first rotation by time after update to logrotate-3.8.6-12.el7.x86_64 from logrotate-3.8.6-7 or earlier, because /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status is empty. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): logrotate-3.8.6-12.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: update to logrotate-3.8.6-12.el7.x86_64 from logrotate-3.8.6-7 or earlier Steps to Reproduce: 1.update to logrotate-3.8.6-12.el7.x86_64 from logrotate-3.8.6-7 or earlier 2.check that /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status is empty. Actual results: After update /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status is empty. Expected results: After update /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status copied from /var/lib/logrotate.status, if /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status not exist before update. Additional info: %pre script in SPEC file copies logrotate.status file from old location to new location. But after that /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status is copied from RPM despite %config(noreplace), because in a previous version of the package didn't have that file.

Confirmed. Thanks for the analysis! The workaround is to copy the saved state file into the new location manually after the update: # cp -a /var/lib/logrotate.status.rpmsave /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status Sorry for the troubles!
I believe this could fixed by using the %ghost directive for logrotate.status: --- a/logrotate.spec +++ b/logrotate.spec @@ -91,7 +91,7 @@ rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %attr(0644, root, root) %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.conf %attr(0755, root, root) %dir %{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d %attr(0755, root, root) %dir %{_localstatedir}/lib/logrotate -%attr(0644, root, root) %verify(not size md5 mtime) %config(noreplace) %{_localstatedir}/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status +%attr(0644, root, root) %ghost %verify(not size md5 mtime) %config(noreplace) %{_localstatedir}/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/rwtab.d/logrotate %changelog
fixed in logrotate-3.10.0-3.fc26: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/logrotate.git/commit/?id=bd156318
