From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.17-0.13 i686) Description of problem: Hi, I have configured daily logrotating for a customer of our company. I have turned on compression and defined the extension .gz under RedHat 7.1 this combination works fine. Now under RedHat 7.2 I get some errors: gzip: /var/log/messages.1.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged failed to compress log /var/log/messages.1.gz and so on. Now logrotate doesn't create messages.2.gz and the logfile is lost. When there is no parameter extension .gz in the logrotate.conf everything works fine. greetings markus Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure in logrotate.conf extension .gz 2. configure in logrotate.conf daily 3. configure in logrotate.conf compress 4. now run logrotation set the date to the next day run it again and once more now you see my problem Expected Results: i have expected the same result as in redhat 7.1, there it works perfect. Additional info:
Can't reproduce, I'm gonna take a wild guess that this has since been addressed. Please try logrotate-3.6.4 when it shows up in rawhide.
