It literally says "Check temporary directory: /tmp/logcheck.XIjG6Y", so did you check that?
If not next time run logcheck in debug mode (-d) and if the temp dir is gone use "-T" as well.


I sometimes ... resolve getting rid of 1 or 2 logfiles to check from the /etc/logcheck/logcheck.logfile
Which logfiles? Always the same ones? And which version of Logcheck?
