    We saw something similar in our logs after doing a FC1 > FC2 upgrade.

    To see what's actually failing, manually run:

    /etc/cron.daily/logrotate

    ..and look for error messages.

    In our case the problem was that the logrotate conf script was trying to
    rotate /var/log/ppp/connect-errors , which didn't exist.

    Doing:

    touch /var/log/ppp/connect-errors

    ..fixed it.
