The last couple weeks I've been getting this error mailed to me by my Debian Sarge Mail server

Heres the logrotate entry in cron.daily, and the logrotate.conf file. Everything is default settings and configuration as it was installed. I haven't changed anything in either of these files..
Code:
username@mail:/etc/cron.daily$ cat logrotate
#!/bin/sh
test -x /usr/sbin/logrotate || exit 0
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
Code:
username@mail:/etc$ cat /etc/logrotate.conf
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress
# packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
# no packages own wtmp, or btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {

create 0664 root utmp

/var/log/btmp {

I have received this error notification for the last 3 Sundays now (7/1/2007 - 7/8/2007 - 7/15/2007 ) .. Any idea why this is throwing an error ?
It's just odd that this popped up all of a sudden when no changes have been made to the system. any pointers would be appreciated.
It appears all the logs are being rotated properly..
Code:
