Package: bootlogd
Version: 3.06-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
/var/log/boot* was not updated after 28th September 2021.
File is used in /etc/init.d/bootlogd.
The conditional code
if [ -f /var/log/boot ] && [ -f /var/log/boot~ ]
then
[ "$VERBOSE" = no ] || log_action_begin_msg "Moving boot log file"
# bootlogd writes to boot, making backup at boot~
cd /var/log && {
chgrp adm boot || :
savelog -q -p -c 5 boot &&
mv boot.0 boot &&
mv boot~ boot.0
}
ES=$?
[ "$VERBOSE" = no ] || log_action_end_msg $ES
fi
is therefore never used.
