[Bug 1645338] [NEW] package rsyslog 8.16.0-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Harald Engels]

Public bug reported:

Rsyslog got removed for testing syslog-ng (in a quite fresh Ubuntu Mate
16.04 installation). This removes also the meta-package ubuntu-minimal
(why this nonsense?). But then syslog-ng got removed and rsyslog re-
installed. It seems that the installation of rsyslog fails then
repeatedly. The installation of ubuntu-minimal works (no rsyslog
installation errors) but after a reboot the starting of rsyslog fails
with the message that the installation failed.
