[debian-mysql] Bug#967900: mariadb-server-10.3: duplicated logrotate.d file causes logrotate to fail

[Norbert Preining]

Package: mariadb-server-10.3
Version: 1:10.3.23-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: norbert at preining.info

Hi,

I see the following in my journallog:

$ journalctl -u logrotate.service
...
Aug 05 00:00:01 bulldog systemd[1]: Starting Rotate log files...
Aug 05 00:00:01 bulldog logrotate[534683]: error: mysql-server:5 duplicate log entry for /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
Aug 05 00:00:01 bulldog logrotate[534683]: error: mysql-server:5 duplicate log entry for /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
Aug 05 00:00:01 bulldog logrotate[534683]: error: mysql-server:5 duplicate log entry for /var/log/mysql/mariadb-slow.log
Aug 05 00:00:01 bulldog logrotate[534683]: error: mysql-server:5 duplicate log entry for /var/log/mysql/error.log
Aug 05 00:00:01 bulldog logrotate[534683]: error: found error in file mysql-server, skipping
Aug 05 00:00:03 bulldog systemd[1]: logrotate.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Aug 05 00:00:03 bulldog systemd[1]: logrotate.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Aug 05 00:00:03 bulldog systemd[1]: Failed to start Rotate log files.
$

Checking for /etc/logrotate.d I see:
$ grep mysql.log /etc/logrotate.d/*
/etc/logrotate.d/mariadb:/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log /var/log/mysql/mariadb-slow.log /var/log/mysql/error.log {
/etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server:/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log /var/log/mysql/mariadb-slow.log /var/log/mysql/error.log {
$

and checking for the package that ships these files:
$ dlocate /etc/logrotate.d/mariadb /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server
mariadb-server-10.3: /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server
mariadb-server-10.3: /etc/logrotate.d/mariadb
$

Is this a left-over from an upgrade, and what would be the correct way,
because having both of these files is sub-optimal.

So if one file should have disappeared, then please use
	debian/mariadb-server-10.3.maintscript
to remove it.

Thanks

Norbert
