Hi all,

I'm running F23 will all updates, and I see a weird behaviour of the 
file command:

sudo file /var/log/dnf.rpm*
/var/log/dnf.rpm.log:          data
/var/log/dnf.rpm.log-20150901: ASCII text
/var/log/dnf.rpm.log-20150906: ASCII text
/var/log/dnf.rpm.log-20150913: ASCII text
/var/log/dnf.rpm.log-20150921: ASCII text

Why /var/log/dnf.rpm.log is a _data_ file, but the rotated logs of 
/var/log/dnf.rpm.log are _ASCII_ files?

All comments are welcome.

Kind regards
