(Get the code!)
I have spent many days with learning about logrotate, cron jobs, and launchpad etiquette (as to posting a comment), which may take me into financial troubles. Now just let me …
I discovered this here starting from bug #1385537, and it helped me to fix the latter. However, I have described there how my situation differs from the situation here.
Another point: I have wondered and searched the web much time in order not only to find out how rotating logs and anacron etc. work, but actually: whether the developers of (Lu|Xu|U)buntu have *intended* to rotate logs by anacron.
Idea from that: Cron jobs might *intentionally* have been disabled (by linking to /bin/true) for a *live* session, maybe not thinking about the persistent case, rather about brief rescue or installation sessions where rotating and cron jobs seem to be useless and perhaps disturb jobs the user has in mind.
