Hello,
I have just tried installing it from the "deb
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/xUbuntu_16.04
./"
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.
Regards,
Gergely Bodnar
