Package: syslog-ng
Version: 3.1.3-3

Hi guys,
Starting with kernel v2.6.38-rc3, syslog-ng will break ... it's not able to
open /proc/kmsg !
I've found the following forum thread explaining why:

Stopping system logging: syslog-ng seems to be stopped already

Hi,
#428424 was an Etch upgrade problem, might be fixed in the background,
doesn't happen with recent stable (Squeeze) version.
#429273 pid file is created correctly, user reported that bootclean
deleted it.
#533075 now syslog-ng is buildable many times in a row.
#550582 old, 2.0.9-4.2 NMU is accepted.
#611998 current version in Sid contains the HOST macro fix and
#612373 is also fixed with CAP_SYS_ADMIN usage with 2.6.38+ kernels.
