<br>> As it was found in the bug report too, the problem was due to the
<br>> missing /var/syslog-ng directory. A similar problem was also recently
<br>> reported in Debian:
<br>>  <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=699942">http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=699942</a>
<br>>
<br>> The Debian report has the better fix, I believe. But indeed, this is a
<br>> packaging error, but one that should be documented, and one that can be
<br>> worked around with a change to the syslog-ng unit file.
<br>>
<br>> I'll probably update the syslog-ng unit file, and/or write some
<br>> documentation regarding syslog-ng and systemd, aimed at packagers.
