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

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.
