Thanks, Lee, for reporting this.
I can reproduce this issue upgrading cloud-init from
24.4~3+really24.3.1-0ubuntu4 to 24.4-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Plucky:
```
# ls /etc/logrotate.d/cloud-init* -hal
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144 Sep 20 21:31 /etc/logrotate.d/cloud-init
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144 Nov 25 16:42 /etc/logrotate.d/cloud-init-base
root@p:/etc/logrotate.d# cat /etc/logrotate.d/cloud-init*
/var/log/cloud-init*.log
{
su root root
missingok
nocreate
notifempty
rotate 6
compress
delaycompress
size 1M
}
/var/log/cloud-init*.log
{
su root root
missingok
nocreate
notifempty
rotate 6
compress
delaycompress
size 1M
}
# sudo systemctl start logrotate.service
Job for logrotate.service failed because the control process exited with error
code.
See "systemctl status logrotate.service" and "journalctl -xeu
logrotate.service" for details.

```
24.4-0ubuntu1 is the first version introducing the split in metapackages
per cloud and the base one.
The issue is that on the upgrade path from the mentioned versions, the
latter one doesn't clean up `/etc/logrotate.d/cloud-init` and logrotate
is not happy about that.
As a workaround until the issue is fixed, it is safe to do:
`test -f /etc/logrotate.d/cloud-init-base && rm -v
/etc/logrotate.d/cloud-init`
to manually clean the duplicated logrotate config.
