Description Jon Gerdes 2008-08-13 15:54:26 UTC
Please could you add something like this:

depend() {
        provide logger
}

to the initscript.  I am not an expert but its a right pain to have syslog-ng keep on starting up when I'm trying to convert over to rsyslog becuase eg exim needs a logger.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install rsyslog
2. Restart a service that needs a logger
3. ANother logger starts up unless all are disabled/removed

Actual Results:  
syslog-ng started up

Expected Results:  
syslog-ng not start up

Done without revision bump.
Please wait a couple of hours, resync and re-install rsyslog.
Thanks.
