Bug Description
I have upgraded from Breezy to Dapper and now Logcheck dont work.
The message from logcheck is inlined in the bottom here. It might be the same kind of problem I have with courier imap where it seems that the courier directory is not created in /var/run which makes courier bail out. It seems I have no logcheck directory in /var/lock/. But I'm no expert so Im probably wrong. It does not work anyway.
Heres the mail I get from logcheck:
Warning: If you are seeing this message, your log files may not have been
checked!
Details:
Failed to get lockfile: /var/lock/
Check temporary directory:
declare -x HOME="/

declare -x LOGNAME="logcheck"
declare -x MAILTO="root"
declare -x OLDPWD
declare -x PATH="/
declare -x PWD="/var/

Experienced same problem on my system, after upgrading from breezy to dapper. Manually creating /var/lock/logcheck solves the problem, but after rebooting the dir is gone.
