Unfortunately I don't - we've been on testing for a while now.

Yup.

Apart from a few held packages (python / mailman) nothing but normal
testing.

akumria at digital:~$ ls -ld /var/lib/logcheck
drwxr-xr-x    2 logcheck logcheck     4096 Jul  1 07:02 /var/lib/logcheck
akumria at digital:~$ ls -ld /etc/logcheck/
drwxr-xr-x    9 root     logcheck     4096 Jun 29 22:59 /etc/logcheck/

I did notice that the /var/lib/logcheck directory owner had changed but
all the files within were still owned by root. My initial fix was to
make the files within world readable because I was under the impression
logcheck ran as root.

Looking at the postinst I suspect the problem is that the
compare-versions check might be too high.

Cheers,
Anand
