Description Salvador Ortiz 2017-11-01 18:08:56 UTC
Description of problem:

After updating to latest rsyslog-8.30.0-3 it fails to start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

8.30.0-3

How reproducible:

Always at system startup

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run
# systemctl start rsyslog.service

Actual results:

Job for rsyslog.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

Expected results:

The daemon should start

Additional info:

Manually starting it as "rsyslogd -n -d" results in
rsyslogd: symbol lookup error: rsyslogd: undefined symbol: fjson_global_do_case_sensitive_comparison

Googling the case I found: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/1853

I have installed libfastjson-0.99.6-1.fc26.x86_64

Looks like a dependeny was not released fast enough:

Try:

# yum update --enablerepo updates-testing libfastjson

this installs: libfastjson-0.99.7-1.fc26

and now rsyslogd will start again
