Anyone got any idea what this means? I get one of these every single
day.
The file is there and seems just fine to me:
[root@titanium cron.daily]# ls -l /var/lib/logrotate.status
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1628 May 3 04:02
/var/lib/logrotate.status
I tried touching every file the state file referenced but that doesn't
seem to be the problem.
Here's an strace of what's going on when it does this:

[pid 29170] exit(1) = ?
Now since it's looking at /var/log/proftpd. I'm guessing it's reading
the /var/lib/logrotate.status file.
Ohh and this is under an 8.2 install.
