2016-05-05 13:14:58 Pat McGowan description Seen on stable and proposed I noticed on two of my devices that after a scheduled rolling of the files in /var/log/upstart that there were no active *.log files at all. The config for upstart includes nocreate but this has always been this way. Is this intended or did something change in logrotate? A similar bug report states that the files will be opened on a subsequent write from the upstart process, but this is clearly not happening.
