Hi,

First i'd like to say i have been using syslog-ng for years and am very 
pleased with it.
Thank you for a reliable and stable product.

I'm running archlinux x86_64 and boot with openrc 0.13.5 . I do have 
systemd installed so i can use udev functionality.
Today I updated from syslog-ng 3.5.6 to 3.6.1 and found this in rc.log :

[2014-12-03T13:27:21.835298] Using /dev/log Unix socket with systemd is 
not possible. Changing to systemd-syslog source, which supports socket 
activation.;
  * Starting syslog-ng ...
[2014-12-03T13:27:21.890729] Using /dev/log Unix socket with systemd is 
not possible. Changing to systemd-syslog source, which supports socket 
activation.;
[2014-12-03T13:27:21.902289] Failed to acquire 
/run/systemd/journal/syslog socket, disabling systemd-syslog source;
  [ ok ]

This is the source part of my /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
source src {
   unix-dgram("/dev/log");
   internal();
   file("/proc/kmsg");
};


I use the official archlinux syslog-ng package, 
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/syslog-ng/ .

It uses these build flags :

|   ./configure--prefix=/usr--sysconfdir=/etc/syslog-ng--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
     --sbindir=/usr/bin--localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng--datadir=/usr/share/syslog-ng \
     --with-pidfile-dir=/run--disable-spoof-source--enable-ipv6--enable-sql \
     --enable-systemd--with-systemdsystemunitdir=/usr/lib/systemd/system|


syslog-ng does appear to work normally, but i'd like to get rid of the 
incorrect error message.
