[syslog-ng] unable to install syslog-ng ubuntu 16.04

[Varugis Kurien]

Didn't you install syslog-ng as well? It was missing from your dpkg list.

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/

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

You may notice that Laszlo said he had a few updated packages to test in his OBS repo a few emails ago.

Our 16.04 images are OpenVZ Containers AND LXC Containers, so they are prebuild for us

Is the any update on this at all?

Simon,
I was able to get 16.04 work with a clean build using the standard ISO image. I had to install syslog-ng-core first.

How do you build your U16.04 images?


Unfortunately Ubuntu 12.04 still doesn't work due to sylog-ng-mod-python package being incorrect. I worked around this by fixing the preinst in the package and generating a new one for now.

Hi,

Was the any update on install syslog-ng on ubuntu 16.04?

I can install syslog-ng 3.5.6 fine from the ubuntu apt

But I would rather use the latest version 3.8 from the unofficial repo

Im still having no luck installing it however :(

regards

Simon
