Description Milos Malik 2008-03-27 08:55:24 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; cs-CZ; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080325 Fedora/2.0.0.13-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.13

Description of problem:
The default state file is mentioned twice within the man page, but each reference talks about a different file location.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
logrotate-3.7.1-7.RHEL4

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. man logrotate
2. search for "te/status"


Actual Results:
The man claims that default state file is /var/lib/logrotate/status or /var/lib/logrotate.status .

Expected Results:
Man page claims that default state file is always /var/lib/logrotate.status .

Comment 1 Tomas Smetana 2008-04-01 13:22:30 UTC
I think there are more typos in the logrotate manual page.  We should fix them
eventually.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2008-10-31 16:44:03 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Comment 3 Daniel Novotny 2010-03-23 12:21:24 UTC
fixed in logrotate-3.7.1-11.RHEL4
