Package: logcheck
Severity: normal


Since upgrading from woody to sarge I've been getting the following apperaring
in the reports sent by logcheck:

E: File could not be read: /var/log/mail/mail.err
E: File could not be read: /var/log/mail/mail.warn
E: File could not be read: /var/log/mail/mail.info
E: File could not be read: /var/log/mail/mail.log

The permissions for these files are:

-rw-r-----  1 root adm    2748 Jun  7 18:28 mail.err
-rw-r-----  1 root adm 1983524 Jun  8 00:07 mail.info
-rw-r-----  1 root adm 2268687 Jun  8 00:07 mail.log
-rw-r-----  1 root adm    2748 Jun  7 18:28 mail.warn

and the user logcheck is a member of the adm group.
