Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.39
Severity: important


Today I upgraded my server from woody to sarge.
After repeated installing and uninstalling of webmin (where logcheck is
used), I ended up with a version that does not work.

The directory for the lockfile.lock is not writable for the user logcheck.

SOLUTION:
After 'chown logcheck.users /var/lock/logcheck' it worked!
