4.4.0 at least doesn't fix it, can you try 4.6.0?
Comment 3 Tomáš Mózes 2024-02-06 09:08:07 UTC
(In reply to Sam James from comment #2)
> 4.4.0 at least doesn't fix it, can you try 4.6.0?

Actually, I've been using 4.4.0-r1 for a while now on a bunch of servers without issues.
Comment 4 J. Roeleveld 2024-02-06 12:55:40 UTC
I have not had any issues on any of my systems.
Currently running 4.2.0 on all systems.

Based on the report, it looks like the issue is on sparc64 architecture.
Why is everyone else being forced to downgrade?
Comment 5 S. Rothe 2024-02-06 14:13:16 UTC
This downgrade caused some problems for me because of stats_freq syntax
Correct Syntax for 4.0.X:
> stats(freq(43200));
Correct syntax for 4.2.X:
> stats_freq(43200);

When downgrading from 4.2.X to 4.0.X, syslog-ng won't start

So I had to manually fix the config file to old 4.0.X syntax.
Comment 6 S. Rothe 2024-02-06 14:16:14 UTC
Argh the other way around:
Correct Syntax for 4.4.X:
> stats(freq(43200));
Correct syntax for 4.0.X:
> stats_freq(43200);
Comment 7 Robert Gill 2024-02-06 20:44:31 UTC
I have confirmed that PID logging has been fixed in version app-admin/syslog-ng-4.6.0 on x86 architecture.

The upstream report is not exclusive to sparc64, it happened on arm too.

Let's try 4.6.0 as a stable target then?

I can't see a link to the upstream report.

I use amd64 and have not had anything resembling this issue.
Masking amd64 when it's not affected is overkill

https://bugs.gentoo.org/924000
Comment 12 Tomáš Mózes 2024-02-07 10:22:38 UTC
Right, I forgot that the previous stable target was syslog-ng-4.4.0-r1 and not 4.4.0-r2 which added grpc dep which is missing KW and thus syslog-ng-4.6.0 cannot be stabilized right away.
Comment 13 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-02-07 18:52:48 UTC
(In reply to J. Roeleveld from comment #10)

See the 'See Also' link to https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/issues/4597. 

The bug might only affect 32-bit arches but there's nothing which guarantees that.

... and https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/issues/4597#issuecomment-1868339588 explicitly says it's not 32-bit only. Thanks.

There is always a possibility to override the downgrade by using package.accept_keywords. 

Sam is trying to help here and version 4.6.0 is already being stabilized.
