  mediascanner

Bug description:
  I just noticed that ~/.cache/upstart/ folder on my computer is taking
  up 69GB of space. Upon further investigation, I found out that
  mediascanner.log and unity-panel-service.log take 12GB and 54GB of
  space respectively.

  I'm not entirely sure if this is related to upstart as I had removed
  logrotate package because of a conflict.
