[IntelMQ-dev] Redis failing to start after intelmq* package update

[Mika Silander]

Hi Sebastian,

 Yes, it's odd. Fixing the ownership + permissions of redis-server.log to match the ones of
redis-server.log.1 solved the problem but I have no idea as to why and how the ownership had changed.

Br, Mika

Did you try? But I have no clue why intelmq is the owner of those files
now. I see nothing relevant in our packaging scripts (postinst etc) and
the logrotate configuration. Maybe Birger has an idea?
