I want to switch from metalog to sysklogd.. I emerge -k'd sysklogd but when
I go to remove metalog I get this error:

 # rc-update del metalog
 * metalog removed from the following runlevels: default
 * Caching service dependencies...
 *  Service 'metalog' already provide 'logger'!;
 *  Not adding service 'sysklogd'...
 ok ]
 * rc-update complete.

hi

i got the same problem (when switching for metalog to syslog-ng)
i solved it by
1. umerging metalog
2. emerge syslog-ng (or sysklogd in your case)
3. rc-update del metalog default
4. removing /etc/init.d/metalog
5. depscan.sh
and finally rc-update add syslog-ng default
