}I think the solution was already pointed out: fix the typo in
}/etc/init.d/sysklogd the "--pidfile /var/run/syslog.pid" must be
}without the "d" (as I indicated in both the stop) and reload) cases.

Please DON'T follow this unless you know what you're doing. This will
break EVERY new version of sysklogd unless you allow dpkg to overwrite
the /etc/init.d/sysklogd file. It is defined as a conffile and the
correct filename for the pidfile is syslogD.pid (remember the 'd').

There should be three revisions after 1.3-2. Please update to the most
recent (this is probably 1.3-5 which I uploaded before I went out for
dinner).

Thanks for your attention,

	Joey
