[syslog-ng] syslog-ng and OS library path?

[Balazs Scheidler]

Hi,

Its probably a libdbi-drivers compilation issue. I don't know too much
about the intricacies of multiarch on the debian/rules side but I guess
that package misses some key parts.

The drivers are loaded by libdbi and not by syslog-ng directly.
