The situation is somewhat strange. /etc/init.d/rsyslog and /etc/init.d/sysklogd both exist, but dpkg -l lists the corresponding packages as "rc" in the first two columns.
I am happy to help debugging/testing this. Should I install one of the packages manually to see whether that makes the crash go away? Or should I do nothing to see whether the packaging infrastructure will automatically do the right thing? (It's not clear to me whether I caused this situation myself. If so then I can't expect the packaging infrastructure to fix it obviously.) I installed slapd manually, and it seems to have an (indirect) dependency on syslog. I don't recall any other recent action that might have an influence on this. -- aptd crashed with error in connect() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424793 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
