Well, it was corrected in the last rpm (I haven't
installed it at the time of my reply):

[root@fulgore:/home/ftp/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS]#
rpm -qp --changelog sysklogd-1.3.33-1mdk.i586.rpm

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.3.33-1mdk

- update to 1.3-33
- Use new initrddir macro 
- Correct logrotate config script to prevent rotating
previous files

 Apparently Frederic Crozat is.

And last version of sysklog (sysklogd-1.3.33-1mdk) should correct this
problem ...
