/var/log/portage/elog/summary.log {

It seems to have it. Is there something else wrong? |

Of course you should also check the permissions for /var/log/portage{/elog/}

How about the old files in elog directory? I think, not sure, that they also need to have portage owner if you use su portage in logrotate. |

I have the owner and group of the files in /var/log/portage/elog are root:portage, and it is working.
Cheers! |

chown root:portage on /var/log/portage/elog doesn't work for me either. I'm just going to turn off portage log rotation until this problem gets fixed:
| Code: | | # rm -f /etc/logrotate.d/elog-save-summary |

Same here, that's quite weird :

Now, we check with portage :

Hmm, creating an archive with portage user has worked; but it still doesn't work when logrotate does it.

FWIW, here's what I did. Changed permissions in /var/log/portage/elog
| Quote: | elog # ls -l

Tested the change.
| Quote: | elog # logrotate -v -f /etc/logrotate.conf
|
And the error went away. |

No, it is not this weird. The said line "su portage portage" has been changed to this quite recently. | Yuu wrote: | | Code: | # ll -lh /var/log/portage/elog/

It looked the same on my system, and there is the problem. logrotate becomes user "portage" and therefore can not move files owned by root. The old logs have to be chown'ed to portage and all should be well.

Yeah, you're right. Last week, I did a chown portage:portage /var/log/portage/elog/* (to correct old files) and it seems to work fine : no more mails from cron :]
