Comment # 8 on bug 913421 from Dirk Weber

I can't tell any more if "systemctl list-timers --all" would have listed the
logrotate.timer, I enabled it on all my systems in January.
After enabling the timer and have it fire at a time while the machines are
running log rotation worked. Therefore I think the issue is just that the timer
is not running by default and not with the service unit.

it works fine for me for months.
