[Logcheck-devel] Bug#253998: logcheck: line 551: unary operator expected

[Sean Burlington]

Hi,
   I have had the same problem

ls -l /var/lib/logcheck/
total 8
-rw-------  1 root root 13 2004-07-31 17:29 offset.var.log.auth.log
-rw-------  1 root root 12 2004-07-31 17:29 offset.var.log.syslog

ls -ld /var/lib/logcheck/
drwxr-xr-x  2 logcheck logcheck 4096 2004-07-31 11:42 /var/lib/logcheck/

I read that
"Also, do you know what version of logcheck you were running previously?
Logcheck has been running unprivileged since 1.2.19 and should take 
ownership of these files upon upgrade."

I am running logcheck 1.2.23 - and have not run any earlier version on 
this machine

I have now run:

chown logcheck.logcheck /var/lib/logcheck/offset.var.log.*

and hope this will fix the problem.


One thing I did which may have caused the problem is that immedialtly 
after installing logcheck I ran it (as root) to test it was working.
