[tlug] logrotate with bzip2

[BOTi <9915104t@example.com>]

Evening,

I changed logrotate to compress old logfiles as bzip2. Added the
following options to /etc/logrotate.conf
compress
compresscmd /usr/bin/bzip2
uncompresscmd /usr/bin/bunzip2
compressoptions "-9"
compressext "bz2"

The problem is that logrotate doesn't recognize bz2 compressed logfiles
like daemon.log.1.bz2 and doesn't rename it to daemon.log.2.bz2.
So when it comes to rotation it moves daemon.log to daemon.log.1 and
tries to compress it, but bzip2 fails.
I get an error from bzip2:
bzip2: Output file /var/log/daemon.log.1.bz2 already exists.
failed to compress log /var/log/daemon.log.1

The option 'compressext ".bz2"' didn't work either.
