Logrotate failed to start in LUbuntu 20.04

After fresh installation of LUbuntu 20.04, when I switched off Plymouth, failure of logrotate appeared on the screen during boot.

(PIDs are replaced by ***)
:~$ systemctl status logrotate

I compared /etc/logrotate.d/samba with the information at https://salsa.debian.org/samba-team/samba/commit/bed29aba47558252eacfe9453d23cc1ab29770aa
Two different lines have been found:

In /etc/logrotate.d/samba:

line 6: [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/smbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config

line 18: [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config

at https://...

line 6: [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config

line 18: [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config

There is a same difference: in LUbuntu 20.04 .pid files are searched in /run/samba/, but at https://... they are searched in /var/run/samba/. After boot, both are present and have the same PIDs.

:~$ cat /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid
abcd
:~$ cat /run/samba/nmbd.pid
abcd
:~$ cat /var/run/samba/smbd.pid
efgh
:~$ cat /run/samba/smbd.pid
efgh

(digits are replaced by letters for security reasons)

Changing the folders according to https://... and reboot solve the problem:

:~$ systemctl status logrotate
● logrotate.service - Rotate log files
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/logrotate.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ● logrotate.timer
       Docs: man:logrotate(8)
             man:logrotate.conf(5)

After that, I tried to revert the changes and reboot. The bug cannot be reproduced anymore.

Additional information:

:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04
:~$ apt-cache policy logrotate
logrotate:
  Installed: 3.14.0-4ubuntu3
  Candidate: 3.14.0-4ubuntu3
  Version Table:

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Finally, the solution for me is:

sudo <installed text editor> /etc/logrotate.d/samba

Replace the following line (for me, line 6)

[ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/smbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config

by

[ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config

and the following line (for me, line 18)

[ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config

by

[ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config

Save and reboot.

But there are two question.
Is it necessary to check both .pid files (both are present after boot), if yes, what operator should be used, || or && ?

Is it necessary to correct line 32: "elif [ -f /run/samba/samba.pid ]; then"? I did not correct it.

Because of a short time after installation, it is not tested, are the log files rotated or not.
