commit 53866d5987bc66308ab0808d72669fb0b19d4ab5
Author: Micah Anderson <micah at debian.org>

    Enable alternate temporary directory to be set in the configuration file
    
    On servers where the logfiles are very large and grow quickly, the
    logcheck processes may run into space issues in /tmp resulting in the
    email such as the following to be sent:
    
    cp: writing `/tmp/logcheck.y12449/checked': No space left on device
    /usr/sbin/logcheck: line 161: cannot create temp file for here document: No space left on device
    mail: /tmp/mail.RsXXXXpc2eAx: No space left on device
    Null message body; hope that's ok
    
    Followed by an empty email.
    
    This is not good because of a few reasons:
    
    1. /tmp fills up temporarily, other problems can result from this
    2. You loose logcheck for this run
    
    Although logcheck falls back to /var/tmp if it cannot create a directory in /tmp,
    it doesn't allow the admin to set a temporary directory other than /tmp if this
    condition presents itself.
    
    The solution is simple, the attached patch adds a new configuration to
    /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf for a TMP variable, sets it to be default
    what logcheck uses now (/tmp) and alters the logcheck executable to honor this
    variable when set.
