Bug Description
Installing Percona Server 5.5 from the APT repository, some redundant log files in /var/log are created:
* /var/log/mysql.err
* /var/log/mysql.log
while the ones used are in /var/log/mysql/
Moreover the Logrotate script included in the packages search for all those files:
* /var/log/mysql.log
* /var/log/
* /var/log/
So the unused /var/log/mysql.log is also rotaded on a daily basis, whyle the unused /var/log/mysql.err will not.
I suggest to remove both those file from a fresh installation and remove the /var/log/mysql.log path from the Logrotate script.
