I am getting this in journal:

systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit logrotate.timer, ignoring: Unit logrotate.timer failed to load: No such file or directory.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from 13.2 x64 to Leap 42.1
2. journalctl -e
3. See the message.
Actual Results:  
Message in journal:

systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit logrotate.timer, ignoring: Unit logrotate.timer failed to load: No such file or directory.

It seems to appear on each reboot. Sometimes I have noticed it also when restarting certain services (can't remember which exactly)

Expected Results:  
I suppose it should not be there. Looks like a warning/error message.

The system is upgraded from 13.2 to Leap 42.1

I have been advised to file a bug report in the forum thread:

Comment 1 Franck Bui 2015-12-01 11:08:13 UTC

It looks like logrotate has been downgraded when you moved from 13.2 to Leap.

And the (old) version you're using of logrotate doesn't provide logrotate.timer anymore.

This should be reassigned to logrotate maintainer IMHO.

Hi George,

thank you for your report but it's actually a duplicate of the bug 954375.

Logrotate in Leap is from SLE12 which wasn't yet ported to systemd. As soon as SLE12 logrotate is migrated to systemd, Leap will get the same package.
