This is due to the version of logrotate running on your qube2. 
'missingok' is a directive added in newer versions that tells logrotate
that it is ok if the file is missing and don't complain.  In the version
on the Qube2, this wasn't there, do it would fail silently to rotate the
log if it didn't exists.

The way to fix it is to modify the 'secureweb' file and remove the
missingok line.  This file is most likely located in /etc/logrotate.d/. 
Just edit that file and remove the line, no need to restart anything.
