I think this is due to an unversioned dependency on logtail, fixed in
logcheck 1.2.62 from today's unstable.  Can you retry with that
version?

Otherwise, what version logtail do you have?

dpkg -l logtail\*

Can you check if the logcheck user is in the adm group and that the
logfiles have that groupship and read permission?

id logcheck 
ls -l /var/log/{syslog,auth.log}

Can you also check that none of your partitions are full?

df |grep -we tmp
df |sort -nrk5 |sed 1q

> Check temporary directory: /tmp/logcheck.Lz3123
What's in that directory?
