If you are running the official Debian 3.5 package, it went through a
transition to rename the binaries and all path directories and files
from their custom "squid3" names to the more normal "squid" name.

Whatever you have in the logrotate.d config script needs to match the
binary names and path directory names that actually exist on your machine.

If you copy-n-paste the postrotate script line into the terminal command
line, does it work?


The other thing is what Matus mentioned. logrotate.d was configured to
only run daily. If the log fills to more than 50MB in less than a day,
what do you think happens?
