Bug#445599: logrotate: fails to restart if ssl password required

[Dick Middleton <dick@lingbrae.com>]

Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.3-4+etch1
Severity: normal


The apache2 logrotate script includes a script which restarts apache.  This
fails if an SSL password is required at startup.

Can I suggest the restart action is replaced with the copyrotate function.
facility.  This avoids the need to do a restart at all.

/var/log/apache2/*.log {
        weekly
        missingok
        rotate 52
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        copytruncate
        create 640 root adm
}
