Well ive had some progress!

Managed to get a manual build working, but it didn’t copy any files over anywhere and had to run it manually, groan

But I’ve also managed to get the DEB files installed from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/xUbuntu_16.04/amd64/ <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/xUbuntu_16.04/amd64/>

1. Remove rsyslog ( apt-get purge rsyslog )
2. Download the following packages from url above with wget
libevtlog0_0.2.12-6_amd64.deb
libivykis0_0.36.3-1_amd64.deb 
syslog-ng-core_3.8.1-1_amd64.deb 
syslog-ng-mod-journal_3.8.1-1_amd64.deb 
syslog-ng-mod-sql_3.8.1-1_amd64.deb
3. Then simply installed them all ( dpkg -i * ) 
4. And BOOM it worked :) 

Ok il have to manually install the updated deb when available but at least it works!

Regards

Simon
