i had some problems with logcheck to. this is what helped for me:
 
apt-get remove logcheck
apt-get install logwatch
 
although i guess not everybody would see this as a appropiate solution :p
 
btw, logcheck didn't come with a conf file i my case and when i wrote one myself, it 
gave an error like yours
 
 
regards, Jasper
