Understood. Thanks.

Messages doesn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary to say about
logrotate though.
sed '/logrotate/!d' /var/log/messages
Jan 13 17:50:02 localhost run-crons[7443]: (root) CMD
(/etc/cron.daily/logrotate)
Jan 14 18:00:02 localhost run-crons[4576]: (root) CMD
(/etc/cron.daily/logrotate)
Jan 15 18:10:02 localhost run-crons[1692]: (root) CMD
(/etc/cron.daily/logrotate)
Jan 16 18:20:01 localhost run-crons[4448]: (root) CMD
(/etc/cron.daily/logrotate)

An observation I've made, is that my log rotation seems to have effected
all other logs in /var/log as well. It seems to have stopped working around
January this year.
