cron issue, does "delaycompress" in logrotate.conf helps?

[toralf]

SInce I while I do get 1-2 times per week via email a warning like this

Code: Select all

error: Compressing program wrote following message to stderr when compressing log /var/log/debug-20190707:
gzip: stdin: file size changed while zipping
error: Compressing program wrote following message to stderr when compressing log /var/log/user.log-20190707:
gzip: stdin: file size changed while zipping

from user "Anacron" - the mail to me has the subject "Anacron job 'cron.daily' on t44".

I do wonder why and by which (ebuild) change caused this issues starts to happen and how to solve it?

not sure which change did cause this, but i've solved it by adding "delaycompress" to the corresponding logrotate configuration inside /etc/logrotate.d...

Hhm, good hint, I added that config option to /etc/logrotate.conf - will see, if it helps.
Update Putting it there caused problems now with other log files, but putting it into /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng just for user.log seems to be an option. /Update
And I updated that package: logrotate-3.14.0: Sun Apr 8 20:02:23 2018
