I'm not sure whether the bug is in logrotate or in nocpulse-common. The nocpulse log didn't rotate because of owner of /var/log/nocpulse directory. From root Mon Nov 21 10:37:03 2011 Return-Path: <root> Received: from localhost.localdomain (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by localhost.localdomain (8.14.5/8.14.5) with ESMTP id pAL9b3Ds004644 for <root>; Mon, 21 Nov 2011 10:37:03 +0100 Received: (from root@localhost) by localhost.localdomain (8.14.5/8.14.5/Submit) id pAL9b33A004643 for root; Mon, 21 Nov 2011 10:37:03 +0100 Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 10:37:03 +0100 Message-Id: <201111210937.pAL9b33A004643> From: Anacron <root> To: root Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ANSI_X3.4-1968" Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' on localhost.localdomain /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: skipping "/var/log/nocpulse/*log" because parent directory has insecure permissions (It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation.
Fixed in upstream in commit 0c53a3a3d6a98049556d44d6805eebc5a3b85a2d
