Logrotate.service fails on the Raspberry Pi 4B

[anon80447176]

Does anyone know what’s up with logrotate.service? It always seems to fail. I get loads of entries resembling the following when running journalctl -u logrotate:

Oct 13 00:00:07 Paarthurnax systemd[1]: Starting Rotate log files...
Oct 13 00:00:07 Paarthurnax logrotate[789]: error: state file /var/lib/logrotate.status is already locked
Oct 13 00:00:07 Paarthurnax logrotate[789]: logrotate does not support parallel execution on the same set of logfiles.
Oct 13 00:00:07 Paarthurnax systemd[1]: logrotate.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=3/NOTIMPLEMENTED
Oct 13 00:00:07 Paarthurnax systemd[1]: logrotate.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Oct 13 00:00:07 Paarthurnax systemd[1]: Failed to start Rotate log files.

sudo systemctl restart logrotate.service seems to temporarily resolve the issue.

Whats the output of systemctl status logrotate?

We don’t install logrotate by default…

This, since I restarted the service:

I don’t recall installing it unless it came bundled with something. How can I find out what installed it? I have a pretty minimal setup. It’s pretty much just a minimal ARM install + ddclient, syncthing and minecraft-server.

EDIT: Ah… it came bundled with pi-hole-server.

EDIT2: Uninstalled pi-hole-server. Problem solved. Apologies. Assumed it was part of the base installation.
