Description Greg Turner 2018-07-06 16:41:36 UTC 
app-emulation/libvirt's /etc/logrotate.d/libvirtd.qemu entry has a faulty entry which for literally months has been e-mailing me this on a daily basis:

  error: error switching euid to 77 and egid to -1: Invalid argument

That's it.  Nothing about libvirt, logrotate etc.  So you can see how it took me a while to find the culprit :)

Anyhow, I did, and it is this line of /etc/logrotate.d/libvirtd.qemu:

  su qemu

This should be changed, IIUC, to:

  su root qemu

libvirtd.qemu does not ship with a "su qemu" line. Did you add this line yourself?
