As announced before[1], the syslog-ng Debian/Ubuntu repository[2] I provide will switch to syslog-ng 3.4 as default. This means that if you're using source lines like below, you'll get the 3.4.4 update coming later today. deb http://packages.madhouse-project.org/debian wheezy syslog-ng If you want to remain with 3.3, use the syslog-ng-3.3 component. The 3.3 branch will also be correctly labelled as "maintained", and 3.4 gets promoted to "stable". 3.5 packages will start coming with 3.5.0rc1 due next week.
