an upgrade to a newer version ofcourse. put in a 'vh' for the fancy hashmarks :)
rpm -Uvh logrotate... it will update its configs, but there might be errors in the previous config that is causing your problems, im not 100% sure coz you havent posted your config file. rpm -q logrotate to check which version of logrotate you have. have you google'd if your particular version of logrotate is bugged?
