Logcheck devel - Dec 2004 - permissions issue with logcheck.conf after upgrade

I ran into a little glitch after upgrading logcheck from 1.2.31 to
1.2.32.  I think the cause was a peculiarity of my system, but in case
it's not, or it's worth a release note, I thought I'd let you know.

After the upgrade I started getting:
/usr/sbin/logcheck: line 482: /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf: Permission
denied
mail: You must specify direct recipients with -s, -c, or -b

The peculiarity is that I keep logcheck.conf under rcs, and merged in
the changes from the latest release.  Probably because of this,
logcheck.conf ended up with root as owner and group.  All the other
files have logcheck as the owner.

I fixed up the group ownership, and I expect that will fix the problem. 
I assume the second error line was caused by the inability to read mail
recipients names out of logcheck.conf.

If logcheck changed the id it runs under in the last release, or if
permissions/ownership of the conf files changed, it might be worth a
note.

Thanks.

A change was made to the default logcheck.conf in .32, so maybe it was
overwritten with bad permissions somehow?

Did you actually install the deb?  Our postinst should have set the correct
permissions.
