Re: logrotate does not finish(work)

["Oliver Schulze L." <oliver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I deleted the file:
/var/lib/logrotate.status
and now logrotate is working again.

I upgraded from RH7.3 to RH9, maybe that caused some trouble.
Also, I deleted some daemons that where in /etc/logrotate.d/, so there
where entries in /var/lib/logrotate.status that where deleted.
Maybe is a bug in logrotate? Don't know
