State-Changed-Why: 
Not a bug, but intended behavior:

     -C      If specified once, then newsyslog will create any log files which
             do not exist, and which have the C flag specified in their config
             file entry.  If specified multiple times, then newsyslog will
             create all log files which do not already exist.  If log files
             are given on the command-line, then the -C or -CC will only apply
             to those specific log files.

You need either edit newsyslog.conf and add "C" flag to the appropriate
files, or run newsyslog with -C options specified twice -CC.
