Public bug reported:

I installed and started rsyslog4 from ius and stopped standard syslog
from original centos.

rsyslog4-4.4.2-5.ius.el5 include /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog which is in
conflict with /etc/logrotate.d/syslog from sysklogd-1.4.1-46.el5.

Logrotate complains as follows

| From: Cron Daemon
| Subject: Cron run-parts /etc/cron.daily
| 
| /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
| 
| error: syslog:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/messages
| error: found error in /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron , skipping

As a workaroud I can
# rm /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
or
# rpm -e sysklogd

The best solution probably is to have not a separate logrotate file for
rsyslog4, but share /etc/logrotate.d/syslog with sysklogd, as
rsyslog-3.22.1-3.el5_5.1 from official centos repository does.
