[NBLUG/talk] Weird cron message

[Mark Street]

I think it may be cyclops or the sirens....

Nah, logrotate is cowardly refusing to run the logrotate script for ClamAV 
daemon, which scans your E-mail or files for viruses.  Do you run ClamAV?  It 
really works well for me.

I would imagine if you remove the dpkg-dist suffix logrotate would happily 
rotate your clamav log files for you.  Must be a Debian thing with the 
suffix.  Read the  /etc/cron.daily/logrotate script and see how it is coded.

Usually logrotate scriptlets are found in /etc/logrotate.d/
