[Logcheck-devel] Bug#252597: logcheck: user logchecks mails should be delivered to root

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.20a
Severity: important
Since logcheck changed to run as user logcheck, the error mails of the cron
daemon end up in /var/mail/logcheck where nobody reads them. Mails for
logcheck should be aliased to root like all the other mails of system
accounts.
I was searching for a long time what was wrong with my logcheck not
delivering any mails. The lock directory was not world writable and a
logfile was not readable by group adm.
Please add the alias to the alias file or add a .forward file.
