This is what I found in the archives:

Probably the same error as on the Raq. KB says:

Question
I get an error from root about "missingok" after I installed the SSL
server.


Response
This is a minor bug in the SSL package installation. What has happened
is that the logrotation configuration files for the SSL package contain
the option "missingok". The problem is that the version of the logrotate
program that ships on the RaQ2 does not understand this option. 

The solution is to remove the missingok lines from the 
/etc/logrotate.d/secureweb file. You can use the following commands in a

telnet session as root: 

perl -pi.bak -e 's/missingok//g' /etc/logrotate.d/secureweb 
rm /etc/logrotate.d/secureweb.bak 

The first line removes the offending part from the file and the second
line removes the secureweb.bak file that is created when the first line
runs.
