Indeed, I think the problem is that syslog-ng core depends on syslog-ng-mod-journal, which recursively depends on syslog-ng-core through a Provides line. Hmm.. the funny part that a week ago I successfully installed the same package on one of my servers, but now in a clean docker container I couldn't do that. I have a workaround, attached you'll find an equivs compatible control file, that provides the missing dependency, once that is installed, "apt-get install syslog-ng" works.

That file I generated using Debian's equivs utility, and I attached both the file and the control file used to generate it. If you copy "syslog-ng-abi" as an attachment anywhere (it is a few lines of text), you can get the same deb file using # equivs syslog-ng-abi -- Bazsi On Sat, Nov 5, 2016 at 9:52 AM, <simonsmith5521@gmail.com> wrote:

That file I generated using Debian's equivs utility, and I attached both the file and the control file used to generate it.
If you copy "syslog-ng-abi" as an attachment anywhere (it is a few lines of text), you can get the same deb file using
# equivs syslog-ng-abi

Indeed, I think the problem is that syslog-ng core depends on syslog-ng-mod-journal, which recursively depends on syslog-ng-core through a Provides line.
Hmm.. the funny part that a week ago I successfully installed the same package on one of my servers, but now in a clean docker container I couldn't do that.
I have a workaround, attached you'll find an equivs compatible control file, that provides the missing dependency, once that is installed, "apt-get install syslog-ng" works.
It goes like this:

The "syslog-ng-core" package only contains a subset of the syslog-ng package, pulling in a smaller set of dependencies, whereas syslog-ng is the full set.
The abi package here is just a fake one, I'll make sure this packaging issue gets fixed.

Indeed, I think the problem is that syslog-ng core depends on syslog-ng-mod-journal, which recursively depends on syslog-ng-core through a Provides line.
Hmm.. the funny part that a week ago I successfully installed the same package on one of my servers, but now in a clean docker container I couldn't do that.
I have a workaround, attached you'll find an equivs compatible control file, that provides the missing dependency, once that is installed, "apt-get install syslog-ng" works.
It goes like this:
# dpkg -i syslog-ng-abi-3.8-0_3.8.1-1_all.deb Selecting previously unselected package syslog-ng-abi-3.8-0. (Reading database ... 7256 files and directories currently installed.)

The "syslog-ng-core" package only contains a subset of the syslog-ng package, pulling in a smaller set of dependencies, whereas syslog-ng is the full set.

Indeed, I think the problem is that syslog-ng core depends on syslog-ng-mod-journal, which recursively depends on syslog-ng-core through a Provides line.

The "syslog-ng-core" package only contains a subset of the syslog-ng package, pulling in a smaller set of dependencies, whereas syslog-ng is the full set.
The abi package here is just a fake one, I'll make sure this packaging issue gets fixed.

Indeed, I think the problem is that syslog-ng core depends on syslog-ng-mod-journal, which recursively depends on syslog-ng-core through a Provides line.
Hmm.. the funny part that a week ago I successfully installed the same package on one of my servers, but now in a clean docker container I couldn't do that.
I have a workaround, attached you'll find an equivs compatible control file, that provides the missing dependency, once that is installed, "apt-get install syslog-ng" works.
It goes like this:
# dpkg -i syslog-ng-abi-3.8-0_3.8.1-1_all.deb Selecting previously unselected package syslog-ng-abi-3.8-0. (Reading database ... 7256 files and directories currently installed.)

The "syslog-ng-core" package only contains a subset of the syslog-ng package, pulling in a smaller set of dependencies, whereas syslog-ng is the full set.
The abi package here is just a fake one, I'll make sure this packaging issue gets fixed.

Hello, I have just tried installing it from the "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/xUbu... ./" repository on a fresh Xenial host With "apt-get install syslog-ng" it does not work for me too. But with "apt-get install syslog-ng syslog-ng-core" it works correctly for me. You should try using this workaround.

Hi,
I've built packages of syslog-ng for Ubuntu 16.10 (it worked for me). Could someone test it?

Indeed, I think the problem is that syslog-ng core depends on syslog-ng-mod-journal, which recursively depends on syslog-ng-core through a Provides line.
Hmm.. the funny part that a week ago I successfully installed the same package on one of my servers, but now in a clean docker container I couldn't do that.
I have a workaround, attached you'll find an equivs compatible control file, that provides the missing dependency, once that is installed, "apt-get install syslog-ng" works. It goes like this:

I can confirm that the workaround that Gergely mentioned works on a stock install of 16.04 where syslog-ng was never installed. I built the VM image using packer FWIW so no "by-hand" hacking was involved. ________________________________ From: syslog-ng <syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu> on behalf of Simon Mousey Smith <simonsmith5521@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 9, 2016 4:04:36 AM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] unable to install syslog-ng ubuntu 16.04 Hi Doesn’t work with my 16.04 yet, so I will hang fire! regards Simon On 8 Nov 2016, at 20:42, Budai, László <laszlo.budai@balabit.com<mailto:laszlo.budai@balabit.com>> wrote: Hi, I've built packages of syslog-ng for Ubuntu 16.10 (it worked for me).

Indeed, I think the problem is that syslog-ng core depends on syslog-ng-mod-journal, which recursively depends on syslog-ng-core through a Provides line.
Hmm.. the funny part that a week ago I successfully installed the same package on one of my servers, but now in a clean docker container I couldn't do that.
I have a workaround, attached you'll find an equivs compatible control file, that provides the missing dependency, once that is installed, "apt-get install syslog-ng" works.
It goes like this:
# dpkg -i syslog-ng-abi-3.8-0_3.8.1-1_all.deb Selecting previously unselected package syslog-ng-abi-3.8-0. (Reading database ... 7256 files and directories currently installed.)

Need to get 11.9 MB of archives. After this operation, 49.5 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
The "syslog-ng-core" package only contains a subset of the syslog-ng package, pulling in a smaller set of dependencies, whereas syslog-ng is the full set.
The abi package here is just a fake one, I'll make sure this packaging issue gets fixed.

Hi, unfortunately I had tons of todos, so I could check it only on Sunday : my idea is to eliminate the circular dependency by removing the problematic package, so the mod-journal will be part of syslog-ng-core. (syslog-ng-core depends on mod-journal and mod-journal depends on a virtual package provided by the syslog-ng-core... I've already made this change but unfortunately there is an OBS issue ... I'm trying to fix that during this week. regards, Laszlo Budai On Mon, Nov 14, 2016 at 11:03 AM +0100, "Simon Mousey Smith" <simonsmith5521@gmail.com<mailto:simonsmith5521@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi, Was the any update on install syslog-ng on ubuntu 16.04?

Simon, I was able to get 16.04 work with a clean build using the standard ISO image. I had to install syslog-ng-core first. How do you build your U16.04 images? Unfortunately Ubuntu 12.04 still doesn't work due to sylog-ng-mod-python package being incorrect. I worked around this by fixing the preinst in the package and generating a new one for now. ________________________________ From: syslog-ng <syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu> on behalf of Simon Mousey Smith <simonsmith5521@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, November 14, 2016 2:03:09 AM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] unable to install syslog-ng ubuntu 16.04 Hi, Was the any update on install syslog-ng on ubuntu 16.04?

Indeed, I think the problem is that syslog-ng core depends on syslog-ng-mod-journal, which recursively depends on syslog-ng-core through a Provides line.
Hmm.. the funny part that a week ago I successfully installed the same package on one of my servers, but now in a clean docker container I couldn't do that.
I have a workaround, attached you'll find an equivs compatible control file, that provides the missing dependency, once that is installed, "apt-get install syslog-ng" works.
It goes like this:
# dpkg -i syslog-ng-abi-3.8-0_3.8.1-1_all.deb Selecting previously unselected package syslog-ng-abi-3.8-0. (Reading database ... 7256 files and directories currently installed.)

Need to get 11.9 MB of archives. After this operation, 49.5 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
The "syslog-ng-core" package only contains a subset of the syslog-ng package, pulling in a smaller set of dependencies, whereas syslog-ng is the full set.
The abi package here is just a fake one, I'll make sure this packaging issue gets fixed.

Well ive had some progress! Managed to get a manual build working, but it didn’t copy any files over anywhere and had to run it manually, groan But I’ve also managed to get the DEB files installed from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/xUbu... <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/xUbuntu_16.04/amd64/> 1. Remove rsyslog ( apt-get purge rsyslog ) 2. Download the following packages from url above with wget libevtlog0_0.2.12-6_amd64.deb libivykis0_0.36.3-1_amd64.deb syslog-ng-core_3.8.1-1_amd64.deb syslog-ng-mod-journal_3.8.1-1_amd64.deb syslog-ng-mod-sql_3.8.1-1_amd64.deb 3. Then simply installed them all ( dpkg -i * ) 4. And BOOM it worked :) Ok il have to manually install the updated deb when available but at least it works! Regards Simon

Simon, I was able to get 16.04 work with a clean build using the standard ISO image. I had to install syslog-ng-core first.
How do you build your U16.04 images?
Unfortunately Ubuntu 12.04 still doesn't work due to sylog-ng-mod-python package being incorrect. I worked around this by fixing the preinst in the package and generating a new one for now.

Hi,
Was the any update on install syslog-ng on ubuntu 16.04?
I can install syslog-ng 3.5.6 fine from the ubuntu apt
But I would rather use the latest version 3.8 from the unofficial repo
Im still having no luck installing it however :(
regards
Simon

Didn't you install syslog-ng as well? It was missing from your dpkg list. ________________________________ From: syslog-ng <syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu> on behalf of Simon Mousey Smith <simonsmith5521@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2016 9:24:14 AM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] unable to install syslog-ng ubuntu 16.04 Well ive had some progress!

Strangely enough the isn’t a package called syslog-ng on its own only syslog-ng-* ? The packages seem to follow this patten: syslog-ng-core syslog-ng-dbg syslog-ng-dev syslog-ng-mod-* regards Simon
