The error seems coming from "zip.c" library. Have you installed the stock

Also, have you edited any of the logrotate routines at "/etc/logrotate.d/

If the warning can be reproduced consistently (every day) and you have 
the official packages with no other editions/configurations made by you, 
I would consider in filing a bug report.
