1.73. logrotate

An updated logrotate package that fixes a bug is now available.

The logrotate utility simplifies the administration of multiple log files, allowing the automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files.

* Previously, using the "compressoptions" directive in the configuration file, /etc/logrotate.conf, caused logrotate to crash. With this update, the relevant part of the source code has been updated to use the popt library, and logrotate now works as expected. ( BZ#646762)

All users of logrotate are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

* Previously, when there was an error in one of the logrotate's configuration files, logrotate stopped the whole rotation process. With this update, logrotate only skips broken configuration files, and rotates logs defined in other configuration files as usual. ( BZ#642255)
