[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng 3.7.2 install fails on U12.04

[Varugis Kurien]

This happens on the 3.7.2-1 package version as well:


apt-get install syslog-ng-core=3.7.2-1 <-- works

apt-get install syslog-ng=3.7.2-1 <-- fails


This is because syslog-ng version 3.7.2-1 decides to install the broken 3.7.3.4 candidate and I don't seem to make it install the 3.7.2.1 candidate (default) likely because the control file does not specify the dependency on 3.7.2.1.


Could I get some help with this?

thanks in advance

When installing from the repository here (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/xUbuntu_12.04), the install fails to install syslog-ng3.7.2 with the message:

rm_conffile voodoo unsupported for package syslog-ng-mod-python!

This appears to be coming when installing syslog-ng-mod-python due to a failure in a preinstallation script. How can I fix this?
