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.
