The default value in the program can be (and is) overridden by the system
installed default configuration file logwatch.conf, which may be found
in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/ and /usr/share/logwatch/dist.conf/

Fortunately you can create your own /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
and re-override these values. Look for the TmpDir keyword.

Read "Customizing the Configuration" in the documentation file
/usr/share/doc/logwatch/HOWTO-Customize-LogWatch.gz for the precise
details.
