Heyho!

For some time now, I'm getting those regular emails from cron:

+++
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log 
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
+++

Unfortunately, this is not a very detailed error message :-)

However, I can guess: since I've installed mysql only because KDE depends on it
(it uses some kind of embedded mysql) I have disabled mysql.  So the
/var/log/mysql/ directory on my machine is empty.

cheers
