BUG: logrotate can't zip rotated files

[Philippe.Lafoucriere@…]

when using the "compress" command in logrotate config files, logrotate will output :

error: failed to compress log /var/log/messages.1

the problem is located here :

strings /opt/local/sbin/logrotate | grep gzip
/bin/gzip

linking /usr/bin/gzip to /bin/gzip corrects the problem actually, but it's really a dirty workarround.

Could you do something here ?

Thanks Philippe Lafoucrière

I added the MacPorts gzip as a dependency and made logrotate us it. Committed in r27688. Thanks for reporting it.
