I can (not surprisingly) confirm this bug on Ubuntu Gutsy as well. A quick work around is to run:
# touch /var/log/auth.log.1.gz Thanks for your bug-report, I would not had a clue otherwise, really misleading. Especially because because logcheck always worked before my clean install... -- logcheck fails when auth.log.1.gz missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
