New sanity checks of key value pairs in logrotate config files were added here: https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/commit/2b588b5ec2e5c27bee857c4abeddafa6a9602ebc And this was included in the 3.18.1 release. Trouble is that breaks on existing logrotate files provided by other packages such as rsyncd: # egrep size /etc/logrotate.d/rsyncd size=+1024k That produces: rsyncd:5 keyword 'size' not properly separated, found 0x3d That file is provided by the rsync package and has not changed since at least 2015, but only began causing errors with logrotate-3.18.1. Slackware folks encountered this a couple days ago; forum post linked at $URL. There are a few other packages that provide logrotate config files with similar, now-incorrect syntax; at a glance: $ find . -type f -iname \*logrotate\* -print0 | xargs -0 egrep 'size *= *\+' ./net-misc/rsync/files/rsyncd.logrotate: size=+1024k ./www-misc/xxv/files/xxvd-logrotate: size=+4096k ./www-misc/xxv/files/xxvd-logrotate: size=+4096k ./dev-util/jenkins-bin/files/jenkins-bin-r1.logrotate: size=+4096k ./dev-db/firebird/files/firebird.logrotate: size=+1024k Probably each of those packages needs a bug created about this, unless logrotate is patched (by upstream or by us) to accept the =+ syntax.
