if, at one point you had mysql-server installed, then removed it, 
there's a good chance that it left a variety of things behind - config 
files, cron jobs, logrotate and logcheck jobs

looks like /etc/cron.daily/mysql-server is trying to read 
/etc/mysql/debian-log-rotate.conf - which no longer exists

easiest thing to do is to delete /etc/cron.daily/mysql-server (unless it 
contains custom mods that you want to save)
