It sounds like the package requires updating, the samba-dcerpcd binary 
was introduced at 4.16.0 and it looks like the logrotate package (which 
has nothing to do with Samba) hasn't been updated accordingly.

In the meantime, until the package does get updated, I suggest you 
manually update logrotate.
