Thanks for the reply. I didn't have any puppet packages installed when
I reported the bug, I guess that's why apport didn't report the
version. Anyway, it was the oneiric version, 2.7.1-1ubuntu3.2.

I just tried and was able to reproduce the logrotate error. Remove
puppet (and puppet-common) rather than purge, so the logrotate script
remains, but /var/log/puppet does not exist. Run sudo logrotate
/etc/logrotate.d/puppet after removing the packages to reproduce. Note
that I have not configured puppet at all, so /var/log/puppet is empty.
