I upgraded several 13.1 systems using zypper dup to 13.2. After the update I
noticed that several logfiles grew to a huge size. 

I found out that there is no cron job anymore, but systemd timers are used for
logrotate. Unfortunately it seems that it is not enabled. 

Workaround:
systemctl list-timers (does not show logrotate.timer)
systemctl enable logrotate.timer
systemctl start logrotate.timer
systemctl list-timers (now lists logrotate.timer)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run systemctl list-timers
Actual Results:  
output does not list logrotate.timer


Expected Results:  
logrotate.timer should be registered and active
