It's more general issue, not only inn-related.
Many syslog-handled log files are owned by some rpm packages, some of
them are created in %post.

So: should log files be created/owned by rpm packages or not?

Current default syslog/syslong-ng configuration in PLD use
/var/log/news/news.* - so when this dir doesn't exist, syslog will fail.
The same for /var/lib/archiv/news and default inn.logrotate.

Won't rpm remove these log files on upgrade?
