[xavier <list.debian-user@natch.dyndns.org>]

Hi, I've a problem with logrotate and bzip2,
logrotate wont rotate my file !...


$ logrotate -v :

rotating file /var/log/syslog
log needs rotating
compressing previous log with: /usr/bin/bzip2 --best '/var/log/syslog.1'
bzip2: Output file /var/log/syslog.1.bz2 already exists.
failed to compress previous log /var/log/syslog.1
file /var/log/syslog.401.bz2 doesn't exist -- won't try dispose of it


logrotate.conf : 

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
compress
delaycompress
compresscmd /usr/bin/bzip2
compressoptions --best
compressext .bz2



/var/log/syslog {
   rotate 400
   size=10M
   compress
}

ii  logrotate      3.5.9-8        Log rotation utility 

any clues ?

thanks
