missing /etc/logcheck file



This morning I ran 'apt-get update' then 'upgrade', everything
went along fine until the very last item:

  Setting up logcheck-database (1.1.1-13.1) ...

  ln: `../ignore.d.server//*': File exists

  ln: `../ignore.d.workstation//*': File exists

  Error: /etc/logcheck/logcheck.ignore.paranoid does not exist
   (tried to link to it) !

  dpkg: error processing logcheck-database (--configure):

   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit
   status 2
  Errors were encountered while processing:

   logcheck-database

  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


This seems to have left 'logcheck' in limbo, because if I run
'apt-get upgrade' again, it shows this:

  [root@firegate:/home/jeff] # apt-get upgrade

  Reading Package Lists... Done

  Building Dependency Tree... Done

  0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0  not
   upgraded.
  1 packages not fully installed or removed.

I looked at a nearly-identical Woody box I'm running, and I don't
see the 'logcheck.ignore.paranoid' file on it, either.  I upgraded
that machine at the same time, but it did NOT give me that error,
even though it has logcheck, too.

So is this a problem within testing/Woody, or have I done something
wrong to cause it?  I can't seem to find any man pages for either
logcheck or -database, nor do anything in the usual docs folder.

Thanks in advance.
