logrotate + mysql = "Help!"

[Eric d'Alibut <eric.halibut@gmail.com>]

I have a Debian stable install that runs smoothly; uptime is seventy
three days. Just lately I am getting these system emails:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/mysql.log
/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql.err /var/log/mysql/mysql.err
/var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

I am clueless as to how to debug this error. I am, in fact, a mysql
moron. Any input would be appreciated!

No no no, my fish's name is Eric, Eric the fish. He's an halibut. I am
not a looney! Why should I be tarred with the epithet looney merely
because I have a pet halibut?
