In the past week or so I've been getting warnings like this ..

bzip2: Can't open input file /var/log/snmpd.log.0: No such file or
directory.
newsyslog: `/usr/bin/bzip2 -f /var/log/snmpd.log.0
/var/log/fwlw_clean_log.0' terminated with a non-zero status (1)

I've checked the relevant /etc/newsyslog.conf and its /usr/local/etc
counterpart to ensure there are tabs in the right places but the errors
persist.

Similarly, the relevant files are there and seem to be rotated as
expected/desired ..

Hints?
