Gerl,

It's a "feature" of one of the ProFTP Cobalt security updates. They left a
backup file in the /etc/logrotate.d directory which is a silly thing to do
as logrotate uses ever file in that directory as an input to the job.

Fix is simply, remove the offending file (as root):
rm /etc/logrotate.d/proftpd.rpmnew
