2011-02-01 14:14:49 Dave Walker summary /dev/null corrupted (/dev/null.1) logrotate incorrectly rotates /dev/null to /dev/null.1

2011-02-01 14:24:05 Dave Walker description Since upgrade to jaunty I have problems with one desktop (9.04/amd-64). The session was running for several hours/days and the screen-locker has locked the terminal. Login is not possible (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/270781). The cause is that /dev/null is replaced with a "normal" file. The original /dev/null is moved to /dev/null.1 This issue is intended to track down the cause which leads to the corruption of the /dev/null device. IMPACT: If logrotate is unable to find the logs it is expecting, it will incorrectly rotate /dev/null -> /dev/null. This can cause the session to become totally locked. Login is not possible (see bug #270781). ADDRESSED: A patch cherry picked from >Maverick packages resolves the config parsing when the wildcard produces an empty set (which defaulted to /dev/null). PATCH: See Merge proposal TEST CASE: Install apache2-commons (which includes a logrotate config), but have no apache running -> therefore no logs to rotate. Wait, or induce a log rotation and witness /dev/null be rotated to /dev/null.1. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: This should be considered low, the attached resolution has been in Debian since March 2010 and is in the Maverick release.
