It is connected to the same bug. The OP mentioned of the problem after doing multiple installations and uninstallations of logcheck. So by then it is same as a plain installation. This OP's bug report mentions /var/lock/logcheck not having proper ownership permissions and that is because the postinst script is broken. I'm badly stuck up with other important work so can't give you a patch at the moment. :-( rrs -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT -- http://www.researchut.com Gnupg Key ID: 04F130BC "Stealing logic from one person is plagiarism, stealing from many is research."
