Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-7

When cups is deleted via aptitude, but not purged, the following email if generated every day:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error accessing /var/log/cups: No such file or directory
error: cups:1 glob failed for /var/log/cups/*log
error: found error in /var/log/cups/*log , skipping

The fault spears to be in:

~$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/cups

which has a wild card which can never expand under these circumstances:

/var/log/cups/*log {
        daily
        missingok

The "missingok" is also useless, since the error will occur before the contents of the braces are parsed.

Reported from my android phone, sorry that I could not use "reportbug"

Tried this with cups 1.4.4-7+squeeze3 and 1.5.3-5. /var/log/cups and its
usual complement of files remains on the system and running logrotate
does not generate any mail, I can only suppose any problem has been
fixed.

Regards,

Brian.
