logrotate rotates logs before analysers can parse them

Binary package hint: logrotate

Since logrotate is called from anacron via the cron.daily directory, anything that is also located in that directory and has a name after "logrotate", won't be able to access the logs rotated by logrotate.

I want to generate reports about my local squid3 installation and the analysers I use are "srg" and "sarg". Since they are executed after logrotate, the squid3 log will be empty when they run, making the whole effort an exercise in futility and annoying me with emails such as this:

--------------------------------
/etc/cron.daily/sarg:
SARG: unexpected end of file encountered in /var/log/squid3/access.log
SARG: Keine Datensaetze gefunden
/etc/cron.daily/srg:
No logfile lines found to process!
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/srg exited with return code 1
--------------------------------

To remedy this, /etc/cron.daily/logrotate should be run after all other files run by anacron.
