[CentOS] error creating output file /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status.tmp: File exists

Hi all,

 I have configured a specific logrotate task to rotate certain logs every hour and everytime this logrotate's task runs, I am receiving an email like this:

error: error creating output file /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status.tmp: File exists

 In Redhat's bugzilla I have seen some reported bugs with the same behavior and apparently is solved with an update. But this CentOS 7 host is fully patched and error persists ...

 Any idea?
