Logcheck devel - Jun 2004 - Bug#253998: similiar problem over here

Similiar problem over here, I'm running testing.

I'm using version 1.2.22a and it appears the chown to logcheck hasn't
actually taken place. Thus the permission problems.

I've fixed up the permissions are per the bugs suggestions and things
appear to work.

Hi Anand,

Thanks for the verify.  Do you happen to know which version you were running
previous? (if any)?

Thanks,
-Todd

Also: how was this installed?  Just apt-get upgrade?

Any special circumstances on this machine?

Thanks,

Apologies for the deluge of email!

One more thing:
Please let me know the perms/owners of:

/var/lib/logcheck
/etc/logcheck

Thanks,

Unfortunately I don't - we've been on testing for a while now.

Yup.

Apart from a few held packages (python / mailman) nothing but normal
testing.

akumria at digital:~$ ls -ld /var/lib/logcheck
drwxr-xr-x    2 logcheck logcheck     4096 Jul  1 07:02 /var/lib/logcheck
akumria at digital:~$ ls -ld /etc/logcheck/
drwxr-xr-x    9 root     logcheck     4096 Jun 29 22:59 /etc/logcheck/

I did notice that the /var/lib/logcheck directory owner had changed but
all the files within were still owned by root. My initial fix was to
make the files within world readable because I was under the impression
logcheck ran as root.

Looking at the postinst I suspect the problem is that the
compare-versions check might be too high.

Cheers,
Anand
