Bug#312393: [Logcheck-devel] Bug#312393: logcheck: Some more information that might help

[Todd Troxell]

I have tested the following scenarios and have been unable to reproduce this.

-fresh install on unstable
-dist-upgrade from stable version
-dist-upgrade from woody version

It will be helpful to know if your adduser is functioning correctly.
