| Hi,

|

| anything.
|
| Does anyone have any idea of what is going on and how to fix this?
|
| Thanks a lot.
|
| Best,

The sysklogd_1.3-29.deb package is seriously broken. The maintainer is
working on a fix. There is a thread on debian-devel right now
dealing with this with the thread subject of 'Something is f***ked'.
