Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.39 Severity: important Every time locheck runs from cron on my system it generates a mail reporting:
| Failed to get lockfile: /var/lock/logcheck/logcheck.lock This only appears to happen when running from cron. Attempting to run logcheck or lockfile-create by hand seems to work as expected. The permissions on the lock directory appear to be fine: | $ ls -ld /var/lock/logcheck/ | drwxr-xr-x 2 logcheck logcheck 4096 Sep 26 20:02 /var/lock/logcheck/ so I'm at a bit of a loss trying to explain this. I've not done any configuration of logcheck, it's been doing this since it was installed. Filing this with severity important since it has a major effect on usability, though given that this is sarge I suspect the problem may have already been addressed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages logcheck depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii cron 3.0pl1-86 management of regular background p ii debconf [debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii exim4 4.50-8 metapackage to ease exim MTA (v4) ii exim4-daemon-hea 4.50-8 exim MTA (v4) daemon with extended ii lockfile-progs 0.1.10 Programs for locking and unlocking ii logcheck-databas 1.2.39 A database of system log rules for ii logtail 1.2.39 Print log file lines that have not ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20040524cvs-4 A simple mail user agent ii sysklogd [system 1.4.1-17 System Logging Daemon -- debconf information: logcheck/changes: * logcheck/install-note: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
