These error messages are correct. Logrotate is complaining that the
directory is missing, not that the files are missing. Logrotate
doesn't fail in this situation (even though it shouldn't occur with
correctly installed packages that have had time to accumulate logs),
but complains on stderr. A message on stderr is not a sign of the
failure of logrotate.

The correct thing to do in this situation is to purge the package
concerned, not just remove it.
