Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7-5
Severity: minor

The last example configuration shown in the manpage is

/var/log/news/news.crit {
    ....
}

However, the paragraph explaining it says:

    The  last  section  defines  the  parameters for all of the files in
    /var/log/news. Each file is rotated on a monthly basis.  This is
    considered a single rotation directive and if errors occur for more
    then one file, the log files  are not compressed.

I suspect that (1) the example configuration should be changed from
`/var/log/news/news.crit {' to  `/var/log/news/* {'
and (2) it would be nice to change `then one file' to `than one file'
