error running shared postrotate script

[Paul N. Pace]

Ever since upgrading to 1.8.0 I get the following report from Cron:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/nginx/*.log '
error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/
www.example.com/logs/*.log '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

Contents of /etc/logrotate.d/nginx:

/var/log/nginx/*.log {
    weekly
    missingok
    rotate 52
    compress
    delaycompress
    notifempty
    create 0640 www-data adm
    sharedscripts
    prerotate
        if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \
            run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \
        fi; \
    endscript
    postrotate
        invoke-rc.d nginx rotate >/dev/null 2>&1
    endscript
}

/var/www/example.com/logs/*.log {
   daily
   missingok
   rotate 36500
   compress
   delaycompress
   notifempty
   create 0640 www-data adm
   sharedscripts
   prerotate
       if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \
           run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \
       fi; \
   endscript
   postrotate
                invoke-rc.d nginx rotate >/dev/null 2>&1
        endscript
}

Their are numerous .../example.com/... directories in the config file, but
I have had this configuration for ages, and the update to 1.8.0 did not
attempt to make any changes to this file.

There is a bug report (dated 2015-05-01) at Launchpad that appears
identical to my issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nginx/+bug/1450770

Are there any workarounds or configuration changes to correct this issue?

Thanks!
