Summary	0005160: no log rotation
Description	I noticed that the logs in var/log haven't been rotated since August, hence log files grow bigger and bigger.
Steps To Reproduce	view /var/log
Additional Information	uname -a: Linux kali 4.18.0.kali3-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 4.18.20-2kali2 (2018-11-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux In /etc/cron.daily/logrotate I found the lines skip in favor of systemd timer if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then exit 0 fi The directory /run/systemd/system exists and hence the script exists right at the beginning. Commenting these lines out results in the script running now.

g0tmi1k 2019-09-04 12:36 administrator ~0011006	Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling <= 2018.4), these legacy versions are no longer supported. We will be closing this ticket due to inactivity. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing, and also give information about your setup?
