The logrotate script for app-admin/rsyslog-7.2.2 calls "invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate" as the postrotate command. This command isn't available on my system, so either the script is incorrect or there's a missing dependency. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install app-admin/logrotate-3.8.2 2. Install app-admin/rsyslog-7.2.2 3. Wait for logrotate to run overnight Actual Results: Receive an email reporting that the logrotate cron job failed due to the invoke-rc.d command being unavailable. Expected Results: The rsyslog logs are rotated without errors.
The new rsyslog config files look like they're from/for Debian. I prefer Debian's rsyslog.conf (traditional timestamps and non-world-readable kernel messages), logrotate script definitely needs fixing. For users in need of an immediate fix, the Gentoo-specific postrotate command in /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog was: /etc/init.d/rsyslog reload &>/dev/null || true
