  did you reinstall rsyslog?  did you purge the configs for it
(back them up if needed)?  when i remove a package i have been
having troubles with i often purge it instead of uninstalling
it.

  you may need to reboot after reinstalling systemd and/or 
rsyslog or any other parts.

  see my other note about what your /var/log/journal directory
should look like if you have that set up right for permissions.

  back up the files if you want to keep the old ones.  i'm not
sure the subdirectory in /var/log/journal will be recreated or
not but i think it will if it isn't there, if it is there and
empty the journald service should set up a new one.  note this
depends upon what setting you've got in your config files for
systemd.  i'm not sure if you've altered systemd configuration
files or not.

  note that reinstalling without purging will not necessarily
reset your configuration files.

  rsyslog files should show up in /var/log or where ever you 
put them.

  these are things i can think of trying.  sorry i've gotta
get going and won't be able to help more until later tonight.
hope you get it figured out before then.  :)
