Answering myself...

Dear all,



/usr/local/sbin/logrotate -d /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf
reading config file /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf
reading config info for /var/log/httpd-error.log
error: /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf:11 bad olddir path "/var/log/tmp/"
error: found error in /var/log/httpd-error.log  , skipping
error: /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf:11 } expected
removing last 1 log configs

I am trying to use logrotate from ports and I am getting the following error. Can anyone offer any insight?

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2008-August/147600.html

So it seems there is a bug and it has not yet been solved?

I upgraded (!) logrotate and all is fine. I installed it a few days ago and thought I had the latest version. Shame on me!
