Public bug reported: (I'm a Linux newbie)
Here are the steps that built the crash scenario: 1 - I installed syslog-ng 2 - I replaced entire syslog-ng.conf content with settings to fit Cacti (according to item 5 here: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=236540&sid=bbc3be4f14ddf6f484d30f613bc8fc46#p236540) 3 - When restarting syslog-ng, it produced errors saying that the conf file had deprecated instructions 4 - I decided to restore the original .conf file by removing and installing syslog-conf 5 - I noticed that the new installation didn't updated /etc/syslog-ng contents (directory where syslog-ng file is) 6 - I manually removed /etc/syslog-ng directory 7 - I removed and reinstalled once more syslog-ng It was this last installation that produced the error ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: syslog-ng-core 3.3.4.dfsg-2ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-41.64~precise1-generic 3.5.7.21 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-41-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.5 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Oct 21 09:34:05 2013 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20130213) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: syslog-ng Title: package syslog-ng-core 3.3.4.dfsg-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: syslog-ng (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-package i386 precise ** Description changed: (I'm a Linux newbie) Here are the steps that built the crash scenario: 1 - I installed syslog-ng - 2 - I replaced entire syslog-ng.conf content with settings to fit Cacti (here: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=236540&sid=bbc3be4f14ddf6f484d30f613bc8fc46#p236540) + 2 - I replaced entire syslog-ng.conf content with settings to fit Cacti (according to item 5 here: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=236540&sid=bbc3be4f14ddf6f484d30f613bc8fc46#p236540) 3 - When restarting syslog-ng, it produced errors saying that the conf file had deprecated instructions 4 - I decided to restore the original .conf file by removing and installing syslog-conf 5 - I noticed that the new installation didn't updated /etc/syslog-ng contents (directory where syslog-ng file is) 6 - I manually removed /etc/syslog-ng directory 7 - I removed and reinstalled once more syslog-ng It was this last installation that produced the error ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: syslog-ng-core 3.3.4.dfsg-2ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-41.64~precise1-generic 3.5.7.21 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-41-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.5 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Oct 21 09:34:05 2013 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20130213) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: syslog-ng Title: package syslog-ng-core 3.3.4.dfsg-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242651 Title: package syslog-ng-core 3.3.4.dfsg-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslog-ng/+bug/1242651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
