Environment:Linux 5.10.0-21-amd64 Debian 11.6 Virtual Machine logrotate 3.18.0Attachments:
Description:Commit *55c53de022db2237723d57eb87305d709e4c808c* changed the first line of *contrib/scripts/asterisk.logrotate* to read
{code}
__LOGDIR__/debug.log __LOGDIR__/console __LOGDIR__/full.log __LOGDIR__/messages.log __LOGDIR__/*log {
{code}
Installing asterisk and running the service creates the file */var/log/asterisk/messages.log*.
Running {{make install-logrotate}} installs */etc/logrorate.d/asterisk* from the above template. Then running {{systemctl restart logrotate}} results in a failed service for logrotate. Manually calling logrotate from the command line reveals the error is
{code}
error: asterisk:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/asterisk/messages.log
error: found error in file asterisk, skipping
{code}
The "\*log" in the first line of the logrotate config is expanding to messages.log, which now means that file is listed twice, and the configuration is bad. The obvious fix is to remove all explicit .log files and just allow the file globbing to take care of that.
{code}
__LOGDIR__/console __LOGDIR__/*.log {
{code}
I didn't list this as a patch because I'm new and haven't gone through all of the disclaimer stuff, but hopefully a dev can pick this up and include it as a fix.
