Anacron job 'cron.daily' on <serverdomain>

[martin MHC]

I have started getting these bi-daily updates on the server admin email stating:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: libcare:3 bad rotation count '5 # keep 5 last archives'
error: found error in /var/log/libcare/*.log , skipping

where the folder /var/log/libcare/ is empty.
I have not knowing done anything to change any way this works, either anacron or the folder structure or contents.

The source file that appears to be etc/cron.daily/logrotate is:

#!/bin/sh
export TMPDIR=/var/spool/logrotate/tmp

/usr/sbin/logrotate -s /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
    /usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with [$EXITVALUE]"
fi
exit 0

So this doesn't immediately look like something I should edit to resolve the error.

How should this issue be resolved? I am assuming this issue has occured after a WHM update to version 90.0.14 however I can't see anything in the changelogs that relates to this.

It's a bug with KernelCare. Based on a ticket we had with them, it should be fixed on Monday.
