[Bug 481706] [NEW] gnome-system-log reports various files not found in Karmic when upgraded from Jaunty

[whoop]

Public bug reported:

When I start gnome-system-log via System --> Administration --> Log file
viewer (or run gnome-system-log from the terminal) I get various file
not found errors in the application:

Could not open the following files:
/var/log/auth.log.0: Error stating file '/var/log/auth.log.0': No such file or directory
/var/log/btmp: You don't have enough permissions to read the file.
/var/log/daemon.log.0: Error stating file '/var/log/daemon.log.0': No such file or directory
/var/log/debug.0: Error stating file '/var/log/debug.0': No such file or directory
/var/log/syslog.0: Error stating file '/var/log/syslog.0': No such file or directory
/var/log/user.log.0: Error stating file '/var/log/user.log.0': No such file or directory
/var/log/messages.0: Error stating file '/var/log/messages.0': No such file or directory
/var/log/kern.log.0: Error stating file '/var/log/kern.log.0': No such file or directory

The files are in fact non existent. 
This doesn't happen when I run "gksudo gome-system-log", it also doesn't happen on fresh Karmic installs (only if upgraded from Jaunty)
