Thanks. IMO the proper fix is something among these lines: diff --git i/src/logging/log_cleaner.c w/src/logging/log_cleaner.c index 4ee91843aa..9f987b02b5 100644 --- i/src/logging/log_cleaner.c +++ w/src/logging/log_cleaner.c @@ -82,10 +82,8 @@ virLogCleanerParseFilename(const char *path, *rotated_index = 0; rotated_index_str = g_match_info_fetch(matchInfo, 3); - if (!rotated_index_str) - return chain_prefix; - - if (virStrToLong_i(rotated_index_str, NULL, 10, rotated_index) < 0) { + if (rotated_index_str && STRNEQ(rotated_index_str, "") && + virStrToLong_i(rotated_index_str, NULL, 10, rotated_index) < 0) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, _("Failed to parse rotated index from '%1$s'"), rotated_index_str); If the path lacks ".N" suffix, then the third match group is empty and g_match_info_fetch() returns an empty string. IOW, we should be parsing the suffix iff it's a non-empty string. Alternatively, we might use g_match_info_get_match_count() to find out how many groups were matched. What I also experimented with was passing G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTEMPTY flag to g_regex_new() but that didn't work. Idea was to make g_match_info_fetch(,3) return NULL, but I have no idea why it didn't work. Can you please send v2? Michal
