ryslogd logging breaks with local provider (after logrotate?)

[Christian Reis]

I'm using the local provider, and something has installed /etc/rsyslog.d/25-juju-juju-local.conf.

I've found that this is breaking logging on my machine, likely related to logrotate. Symptoms:

  - /var/log/syslog contains entries for the exact period between Jun 20 08:01:32 and 08:01:37
  - "start rsyslog" and "restart rsyslog" does not cause "rsyslogd:... start" entries to be written to /var/log/syslog
  - ps auxw confirms that ryslogd is running
  - /var/log/syslog does not show new entries
  - running rsyslogd -d dumps debug messages but after issuing the line "initialization completed, transitioning to regular run mode", I get dumped back into the prompt and nothing appears in the logs.

The simple way I have found to fix this has been to just remove 25-juju-juju-local.conf from /etc/rsyslog.d/.

I'm using:

kiko@chorus:/etc/rsyslog.d$ dpkg -l | grep juju
ii juju 1.19.3-0ubuntu1~12.04.1~juju1 next generation service orchestration system
ii juju-core 1.19.3-0ubuntu1~12.04.1~juju1 Juju is devops distilled - client
ii juju-local 1.19.3-0ubuntu1~12.04.1~juju1 dependency package for the Juju local provider
