Logcheck broken upon initial install

[Corey Burger]

Upon initial install of this Breezy Badger ubuntu-server, I was being mailed
daily by logcheck stating:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>U 1 logcheck@phoenix Thu Jan 05 09:58 44/1947 Logcheck: phoenix 2006-01-05 09:58 exiting due to errors

Details:
Failed to get lockfile: /var/lock/logcheck/logcheck.lock
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was because the directory /var/lock/logcheck/ was missing. I created it
and owned it to logcheck, and then I started getting these messages:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Details:
Could not run logtail or save output

Check temporary directory: /tmp/logcheck.NFEKuW
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I purged the logcheck package and friends, reinstalled it and it works fine now.
