logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf might give you hints.

I have tried with the following command 
logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf 

and i am getting the following message on the screen

rotating pattern: /var/log/messages /var/log/mgetty.log.ttyS1  weekly 
(38 rotations)
olddir is /var/log/corview/, empty log files are rotated, old logs are 
removed
considering log /var/log/messages
log does not need rotating
considering log /var/log/mgetty.log.ttyS1
log does not need rotating
not running shared postrotate script, since no logs were rotated

I am not sure what is the problem and can you explain me
