Logrotate is complaining about permission problems...

error: unable to open /var/log/warn-20200326 for compression
error: unable to open /var/log/messages-20200609 for compression
error: unable to open /var/log/systemd.log-20200628 for compression
applying -v or -d switch does not show access to these files as they would
require writing and those switched do not allow that.
However, strace produces the following, which shoes that around accessing the
warn-20200326 file, just previous, it processed the radius log files and as
such it switched user to radiusd, however, it never switched back to root which
would be required to update files in the /var/log directory, hence the
permission problem.
