Hallo,

after upgrading logcheck to 1.2.34 it fails to run with the error:

> Details:
> Failed to get lockfile: /var/lock/logcheck.lock

The error is caused by the new cron job, because logcheck now runs as user 
logcheck, which has no write permissions to /var/lock. The installer already 
created the directory /var/lock/logcheck with correct permissions but did not 
add

LOCKFILE="/var/lock/logcheck/logcheck"

to /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf.

Maybe you use the above as default in /usr/sbin/logcheck to avoid this error.
