[Bug 570103] Re: rsyslog still includes /etc/default/rsyslog, which isn't used

Excerpts from sm8ps's message of Thu Jun 09 16:40:43 UTC 2011:
> Somehow this does not work for me on Lucid LTS. I do have rsyslog (4.2.0-2ubuntu8.1) installed. (In the Synaptics sources configuration editor I do have lucid proposed checked.) The upstart script '/etc/init/rsyslog.conf' runs 'exec rsyslogd -c4' as last line nevertheless without checking '/etc/default/rsyslog'. I tried re-installing rsyslog (4.2.0-2ubuntu8.1) to no avail. What else must I do to get this fix working?

Hi sm8ps.

Are you certain that you have the updated /etc/init/rsyslog.conf ? Since it is a conffile,
dpkg may have kept a modified version and not installed the new one.

It should include the changes shown here:

proposed/revision/28

Note the 'script' section added to debian/rsyslog.upstart

Title:
  rsyslog still includes /etc/default/rsyslog, which isn't used

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “rsyslog” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rsyslog

  The package for rsyslog in Lucid still includes a /etc/default/rsyslog
  file. Since the migration to upstart, that file should be there,
  afaik. It's rather confusing for users to have that file, restart
  syslog and see that the changes aren't honored.

  Please remove /etc/default/rsyslog from the package, thanks!
