Ok, I did all that, but when I try to run dpkg -i, I get the following output: neuromancer:~# dpkg -i metalog_0.7beta-3_i386.deb dpkg: regarding metalog_0.7beta-3_i386.deb containing metalog: syslog-ng conflicts with system-log-daemon metalog provides system-log-daemon and is to be installed. dpkg: error processing metalog_0.7beta-3_i386.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing metalog Errors were encountered while processing: metalog_0.7beta-3_i386.deb neuromancer:~# How can I uninstall syslog-ng and install metalog? dpkg won't let me uninstall syslog-ng before I install metalog because a plethora of packages depend on system-log-daemon.
