Package: rsyslog
Version: 5.8.11-3+deb7u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
After the update to 5.8.11-3+deb7u1 rsyslog only logs the kernel messages.
The reson is the used syslog socket. It was /var/run/log before the update.
After the update it is /dev/log. This is not working. This can also be
fixed in the config file with $SystemLogSocketName /var/run/log
Here is the log output:
Oct 6 13:22:34 kfreebsd rsyslogd: cannot create '/dev/log': Operation not supported
Oct 6 13:22:34 kfreebsd rsyslogd: imuxsock does not run because we could not aquire any socket
Oct 6 13:22:34 kfreebsd rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.11" x-pid="22046" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] start

From which version did you upgrade?

There weren't any code related changes regarding /dev/log/ and
/var/run/log as you can see at [1]. So what you experience doesn't look
like related specifically to 5.8.11-3+deb7u1.


I don't run kfreebsd, so this will need someone else to debug this further.

Hello Michael,

It was the update from 5.8.11-3 to 5.8.11-3+deb7u1.
I have a kfreebsd VM. We can use it for debugging.


Best regards
