The first time logrotate runs it reports an error:

  error: state file /var/lib/logrotate.status is
  world-readable and thus can be locked from other
  unprivileged users. Skipping lock acquisition...

This check was added with
https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/commit/1f76a381e2caa0603ae3dbc51ed0f1aa0d6658b9

This error is only reported once as logrotate removes
the world-readable permissions if this happens.
Since logrotate creates this file if it does not exist,
there should be no need to install it in the first place.
