Severity: normal
Hi!
I've just uploaded rsyslog with the following change:
rsyslog (5.8.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
The way rsyslog processes SIGHUP has changed. It no longer does a reload
of its configuration, but simply closes all open files, which is a much more
lightweight operation.
To apply a changed configuration, rsyslogd needs to be restarted now.
As a consequence, the reload action has been dropped from the init script.
A new action called "rotate" was added to the init script, which signals
rsyslogd to close all open files. This new action is used in the rsyslog
logrotate configuration file.
For more information, see:

sympa uses "invoke-rc.d rsyslog reload" in its logrotation configuration
file. This means, that will no longer work, as the reload operation is gone.
Either use "invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate"
or something like "kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid)"
in the postrotate script.
Cheers,
Michael
