Since installing some updates (including a new kernel) and rebooting 
back on Feb 23, anacron has been e-mailing me the following output daily 
on all my SL7.3 systems:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

Here's the list of update packages that were installed on the date in 
question:

Feb 23 15:27:08 Updated: kernel-tools-libs-3.10.0-514.6.2.el7.x86_64
Feb 23 15:27:09 Updated: kernel-tools-3.10.0-514.6.2.el7.x86_64
Feb 23 15:27:21 Installed: kernel-devel-3.10.0-514.6.2.el7.x86_64
Feb 23 15:27:22 Updated: python-perf-3.10.0-514.6.2.el7.x86_64
Feb 23 15:27:24 Updated: kernel-headers-3.10.0-514.6.2.el7.x86_64
Feb 23 15:27:25 Updated: perf-3.10.0-514.6.2.el7.x86_64
Feb 23 15:27:35 Updated: firefox-45.7.0-2.el7_3.x86_64
Feb 23 15:27:47 Installed: kernel-3.10.0-514.6.2.el7.x86_64

I doubt firefox or the perf packages are relevant, so I'm thinking it 
may have to do with the new kernel that was installed and booted then. 
Subsequent kernel updates haven't change the behaviour, though.

Curiously, on a new SL7.3 system installed since then, with exactly the 
same kernel and set of logrotate config files, I don't see those errors. 
  Also, if I disable execute permission on /etc/cron.daily/logrotate on 
one of the affected systems, and run it manually from the command line 
the next day (instead of anacron running it), I don't see those error 
messages.

This one has me stumped.  I'm not even sure exactly what part of 
logrotate is generating those errors, and it's hard to test it out since 
the errors only happen when running via anacron.

Any ideas as to where I should look?

Gilbert
