Subject: Logwatch (randomly) skipping days => Feature!?

Hi,
I discovered something weird:
>From time to time 'logwatch' does not create a daily log.
E.g.:
The file '/var/log/logwatch/2019-14-26' exists, but size = 0 Bytes.
The same happened yesterday with '/var/log/logwatch/2019-02-16':
0 Bytes.
After running...
/usr/local/bin/logwatch > /var/log/logwatch/`date -I -d yesterday`; \
LOGWATCH_KEEP=$(sed -ne 's/^LOGWATCH_KEEP=\([0-9]\+\)$/\1/p'
/var/ipfire/logging/settings); \
find /var/log/logwatch/ -ctime +${LOGWATCH_KEEP=56} -exec rm -f '{}' ';'
...manually from console, file was created, everything looks ok.
1. Can anyone confirm?
2. With which parameter could I change the starting time "01 0 * * *" so
that this doesn't happen again? I'm searching, but can't find a grip on
this...
Best,
Matthias
