There is a logcheck rule for cron-apt that appears is trying to match
this line.  It fails to match.

  ^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ cron-apt: Fetched [[:digit:].]+[kM]?B in ([[:digit:]]+m)?[[:digit:]]+s \([[:digit:].]+[kM]?B/s\)$

Here is a fix for the rule to match that line.

  ^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ cron-apt: Fetched [[:digit:].]+[kM]?B in ([[:digit:]]+min)?[[:digit:]]+s \([[:digit:].]+[kM]?B/s\)$
