Cron logrotate generates errors every morning (Beginner)

[Rocketeer]

Every morning I recieve the same error messages from my headless server. I already tried to reinstall the packages, but without luck. Currently ps3mediaserver and squid are deinstalled. Upstart is not deinstallable (used for system suff I guess).



Subject: Cron <root@rocketserver> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error accessing /var/log/ps3mediaserver: No such file or directory

How did you install / desinstall ps3mediaserver and squid? (from repositories, or from PPA? or source?) - it sounds like some files got left behind.

What are the contents of your /etc/cron.daily directory?

Following are my contents for cron.daily

I now used dpkg --purge ps3mediaserver - so maybe there are 3 messages less next time in the error log.
