The SRPM I submitted for QA in Fedora.us already has a Provides
statement:

     "Provides: sysklogd = 0:1.4.1-99"


Right now, the only problem I am having, is how to improve the handling
of the syslog/syslog-ng logrotate file: it only works if there are
no sysklogd upgrades (no problems if sysklogd is removed).  As Enrico
suggested in comment 23, a possible solution may reside in the usage
of %trigger scripts.

All possible solutions/comments are welcome (even better if they are
submitted via bugzilla).

   This package aims to be a replacement of RedHat/Fedora
   sysklogd (tries to follow the same logging rules).
