After upgrading to logrotate-3.8.4 the daily logrotate sends segmentation fault in email. I found a connection to a specific logrotate config file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. apache2 modified logrotate config file in /etc/logrotate.d 2. /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf Actual Results: Segmentation fault. Expected Results: rotateting log files, and exit status 0 (or error) /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 file: /var/log/apache2/*log /var/www/_log/blade-a/*log { daily missingok rotate 7 compress delaycompress notifempty create 640 root adm sharedscripts prerotate /usr/bin/awstats_updateall.pl now endscript postrotate /etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null endscript } without this config, the logrotate works. The directories not exists, this apache script shouldn't be on this machine, but anyway, it shouldn't segfault, and it works with 3.8.3 Tiwhout sharedscripts it works. (but syslog-ng has sharedscripts too, and it works) maybe it has existing directories?
It works properly with /path/to/[this is no directory]/file but I see segmentation faults with /path/to/[this is no directory]/*

Thanks for reporting. Which platform are you using? I've tried to reproduce this in my amd64 box with no luck. I'll get to an x86 in the following days to test in there.

(In reply to Chema Alonso from comment #6) > I've reinstalled apache and awstats and used Lászlo config file on a > platform quite similar to Jeroen's, but I can't get the segfault. You missed the Summary change in this bug report. It's about *bad* commands in the prerotate/postrotate. I tested on a system with *no* apache installed, FWIW.
I've managed to reproduce it (thanks Jeroen). I've found that the problem occurs when the pattern proposed by László is the first processed by logrotate, so I've filed a ticket describing the problem. https://fedorahosted.org/logrotate/ticket/31 As a workaround, ensure that the pattern exists and that the pattern (config) file is not the first processed by logrotate.
