Author What package is responsible for rotating kern.log, debug, syslog?

I discovered that on my system these weren't rotated (!) by default.
Should the kernel package be doing this? Logrotate? Syslog?....

/etc/cron.*/sysklogd

They should show up in the output of /usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles (with
or without --weekly)

Assuming you use sysklogd:
sysklogd

What's the output of

syslogd-listfiles --weekly

on your system?

Hi,

I had the same problem a few month ago. My System was not powered 24
hours a day.

If your system is not powered 24 hr a day then
apt-get install anacron
