RHBA-2005:333 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
logrotate bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated logrotate package that addresses various bugs is now available.
Description
The logrotate utility simplifies the administration of multiple log files.
Logrotate allows for automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing
of log files.
This erratum addresses the following bugs:
- Previously, logrotate failed to do anything if there were files
configured for rotation without SELinux file context.
- The -v option was mentioned but not described in the man page.
- The /var/lib/logrotate/status file mentioned in the man page
did not exist (should be /var/lib/logrotate.status).
All users of logrotate should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
