Logcheck devel - Dec 2009 - Bug#558995: logcheck: Should avoid "no shuch file/dir" errors during new installs

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.3.3
Severity: minor

During a new installation of logcheck I got the following errors:
Setting up logcheck (1.3.3) ...
Adding user logcheck to group adm
chown: cannot access `/var/lock/logcheck': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `/var/lock/logcheck': No such file or directory
chown: cannot access `/var/lock/logcheck': No such file or directory

It would be cleaner to avoid these, and it should be trivial to do so.
