I get this in the log:


<9.4> 2012-05-17 22:19:14 Telcontar logrotate - - - ALERT exited abnormally with [1]

Those comments say:

# If the root user has a password you have to create a
# /root/.my.cnf configuration file with the following
# content:
#
# [mysqladmin]
# password = <secret>
# user= root
#
# where "<secret>" is the password.
#
# ATTENTION: This /root/.my.cnf should be readable ONLY
# for root !


And I do have that file with the right permissions:


Telcontar:~ # l .my.cnf
-rw------- 1 root root 202 Mar 27 2011 .my.cnf


and they have the specified contents:

[mysqladmin]
password = mypassword
user= root




So, what happens? This has started right after the last mysql upgrade. Another bug?

maybe wrong permissions on /var/log/mysql/ directory.

try to change this to
# chmod 750 /var/log/mysql/
and optional
# chown mysql /var/log/mysql/
