Fedora 22 - syslog rotating but new old files being updated!

[Philip Rhoades]

People,

After I move from F21 to F22 (fresh install) and changing the frequency 
of logrotates to "daily", I notice that the new syslog logs (ie those 
without the date appended) are not being changed and the files from the 
date of the last reboot are the ones that continue to be updated! eg:

eg:

Any suggestions about why this is happening?
