Usually I receive a Logwatch report via e-mail everyday, timestamped

Today is the second day in a row I did not receive a report at all?
I tried running logwatch as root with --print but after a minute or
so, there is nothing displayed and the command prompt is displayed
again?
What would cause logwatch to stop reporting things? Where are the log
files it uses to build the daily report?
The report showed things such as which updates were installed,
current disk space, log in attempts (successful and failed)
It's not as if none of those things happened.
How does Logwatch get started each day? crontab -l doesn't show
anything for root?
$ ls -l /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Apr 5 04:58 /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch ->
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
For me...
$ ls -l /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Apr 4 12:07 /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch ->
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
We have different logwatch programs... or is the file date when it was
installed?
$ rpm -q logwatch
logwatch-7.2.1-1.fc5
This is what yum info shows as being the current version
The last logwatch report I have begins with:
################### Logwatch 7.2.1 (01/18/06) ####################
