I have updated my system using dnf upgrade for several releases. I am
currently running F39. Today I was looking at my running services and
noticed that the logrotate.service is failing to start due to the
following error:
Jul 20 11:49:41 caseyjones.homenet192-168-10.com logrotate[307129]:
error: syslog:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/cron
Jul 20 11:49:41 caseyjones.homenet192-168-10.com logrotate[307129]:
error: syslog:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/maillog
Jul 20 11:49:41 caseyjones.homenet192-168-10.com logrotate[307129]:
error: syslog:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/messages
Jul 20 11:49:41 caseyjones.homenet192-168-10.com logrotate[307129]:
error: syslog:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/secure
Jul 20 11:49:41 caseyjones.homenet192-168-10.com logrotate[307129]:
error: syslog:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/spooler
Jul 20 11:49:41 caseyjones.homenet192-168-10.com logrotate[307129]:
error: found error in file syslog, skipping
A little investigation showed the following in /etc/logrotate.d
rsyslog:/var/log/messages
syslog:/var/log/messages
with the following info:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 221 Aug 24 2023 rsyslog
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 210 Nov 14 2023 syslog
Why are there 2 entries and which one should I delete?
Paolo
