Package: dsyslog Version: 0.3.0 Severity: normal
A failed message was encountered when running /etc/init.d/dsyslog start To try and see what had failed I ran dsyslog from the command line and experienced the output below. r...@uklon92:/etc# dsyslog -c /etc/dsyslog.conf (ERROR) dsyslog_module.c:40 [dsyslog_module_load]: Loading module //usr/lib/dsyslog/filter_droppriority.so failed: //usr/lib/dsyslog/filter_droppriority.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (INFO ) dsyslog_main.c:33 [dsyslog_daemonize]: Launching into background as process 3452 r...@uklon92:/usr/lib/dsyslog# cd /usr/lib/dsyslog/ r...@uklon92:/usr/lib/dsyslog# ls *.so | wc -l 11 r...@uklon92:/usr/lib/dsyslog# ls -l total 56 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3572 2008-07-19 07:22 cond_literal.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3792 2008-07-19 07:22 cond_pattern.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3924 2008-07-19 07:22 cond_regexp.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3012 2008-07-19 07:22 filter_dropprog.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3828 2008-07-19 07:22 filter_regexp.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3368 2008-07-19 07:22 output_file.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3932 2008-07-19 07:22 output_udp.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4704 2008-07-19 07:22 source_klogfile.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5120 2008-07-19 07:22 source_localsock.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3596 2008-07-19 07:22 source_mark.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5664 2008-07-19 07:22 source_udp.so r...@uklon92:/usr/lib/dsyslog# cat /etc/*version 5.0.5 r...@uklon92:/usr/lib/dsyslog# To workaround the problem I commented out loadmodule "filter_droppriority.so"; in dsyslog.conf The attached diff comments out loadmodule and deals with a separate issue for which I will file another bug report. I think that the file /usr/lib/dsyslog/filter_droppriority.so is missing in the Squeeze version and the Lenny version of dsyslog. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5.028stab066.7 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dsyslog depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-3 The GLib library of C routines Versions of packages dsyslog recommends: ii logrotate 3.7.1-5 Log rotation utility Versions of packages dsyslog suggests: pn dsyslog-module-mysql <none> (no description available) pn dsyslog-module-postgresql <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information
