Well, the logfile gets rotated to foo.0, then foo.1.gz, foo.2.gz, blah, 
blah and then removed. Now we have no logfiles left, and logrotate will 
barf (again).

The problem is (which I did not think about when discussing the issue 
with you in MG and while writing the patches): how does one tell 
logrotate that it should not execute a rule, because the package is 
removed?

Regards,
Evgeni, slightly puzzled and too tired to think further :(
