[debian-mysql] Bug#880099: mariadb-server-10.1: logrotate script does not work - permission denied

[Norbert Preining]

Package: mariadb-server-10.1
Version: 10.1.26-0+deb9u1
Severity: normal

Dear all,

it seems that some recent update messed up something on my 
pretty default stable system, because I get warning messages:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
^Gmysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log /var/log/mysql/mariadb-slow.log /var/log/mysql/error.log '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

Now I can't remember having changed *anything* there since installation
of the server quite some time ago, in particular I haven't changed
passwords or my/maria settings.

All the best

Norbert
