duh, I should look a little closer I think :) Hmmm wonder why I was missing
my links then... I had to create them manually after I installed the
package. Oh well doesn't matter now we've switched to release 15 as it
seems to work fine.

As I wrote earlier, there is a problem in dpkg related to packages
taking over each other's conffiles.

I'm still considering how best to solve it, but in this case the
solution (not renaming the package) is obvious.

No it doesn't it was written nicely so you get to keep your old
configs. The only thing wrong with it is what I mentioned in my bug
report.

   Can I work around the problem by simply renaming the package (to
   remove the "k") and rebuilding it from source? I _think_ that's
   all I need to do.

Yes, I think that would do it.

      The new syslog package with the `k' in its name should be REMOVED
      from the distribution and replaced with the old one with the `k'.
      I said a while ago that it should not be moved into it, and now
      that it has been it should be removed again immediately.

   Sorry--I must've missed your first request.  By the time I saw your
   request, it was too late.

That is to say, I'd already replaced the old package with the new one.

Does anyone have a copy with the old one that we can use until a fixed
package is available?

Could the sysklogd maintainer fix this ASAP?  We'll have to rebuild
the base diskettes, too, to incorporate the fixed package.

the distribution and replaced with the old one with the `k'.  I said a

Installing the new package will probably wipe out the user's
configuration, including the syslog.conf !!

Considering it's now in binary/base and probably on the new disk set Bruce
is making I wouldn't call it moot.

Since the package should not have been renamed (see my recent message
on debian-devel) this is all moot, but what should really have been
done was just to add the extra `k' to the existing links.

Removing the user's configuration and replacing it with the default
one isn't good.

Package: sysklogd
Version: 1.2-13

There were no links to /etc/init.d/sysklogd in /etc/rc2.d so klogd
and syslogd didn't get started.

The culprit is these lines in the postinst script.

update-rc.d sysklogd defaults 10 90 >/dev/null

# Purge the files of the old "syslog" package, it's now called "sysklog".

rm -f /etc/cron.weekly/syslogd /etc/init.d/syslogd \
        /etc/rc[0-6].d/[SK]20syslogd \
        /etc/rc[0-6].d/[SK]20sysklogd

Your making the links, then deleting them afterwards.
