Logcheck has changed recently.  Make sure logcheck is a member of
the adm group.  Also, /etc/logcheck directory should have the
owner of root, group - logcheck.  Also, the /var/lib/logcheck
dir should be owner logcheck, group adm.... and delete the
files in /var/lib/logcheck.

This fixed it for me, but I'm not sure if it's exactly the
"correct" way.
