Hello, I am trying to install syslog-ng OSE on RHEL 7 but I get the following error. Transaction check error: file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog from install of syslog-ng-3.12.1-2.el7.centos.x86_64 conflicts with file from package rsyslog-8.24.0-12.el7.x86_64 I can't remove rsyslog from the system as other people us it.

Hi, I have cced the rpm maintainer. Honestly I dont know, it only seems to conflict on a logrotate file, and obviously if the two configurations are done properly, both syslog-ng and rsyslog can run on the same machine. However the rpm is made with a number of assumptions. But I will let Peter to explain :) Cheers Bazsi On Oct 31, 2017 20:57, "Elphick, Matthew Thomas" <Matthew.Elphick@mmc.com> wrote:

The problem is, that Red Hat changes the logrotate file in the rsyslog package from time to time. As weak dependencies are not (yet) supported in RHEL I can't simply move the file to a separate package. I can't rename it either, as that way files would be rotated twice. Usually I update it in the syslog-ng package when I get a report, so I'll check what changed and update the package soon.

Hi, My experimental repo built from git head snapshots is now updated. Could you give it a quick test? It's not for production use, but if the logrotate fix works I put it also in the syslog-ng 3.12 repo.

Peter, The install using the git-head repo was successful. No more issues with the “Transaction check error”. Do you know how long it will be before the fix is added to the 3.12 repo?

Hi, I hope it will be available soon. The local build succeeded so I uploaded the source rpm to Copr. Right now it is waiting to be compiled. Normally it is ready in less than ten minutes but sometimes Copr is flooded with build jobs and one needs to wait hours for the results.

Does the change resolve this one as well? https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/issues/1384 Maybe this ticket is not relevant anymore. On Fri, Nov 3, 2017 at 4:10 PM, Czanik, Péter <peter.czanik@balabit.com> wrote:
