This seems like a reasonable approach to me. Bill, Jason -- any concerns? Sounds doable. OK, I'll change sysklogd and vixie cron: sysklogd: 'Provides: syslog-1.4.1' (but it will still also Provides:sysklogd-1.4.1 by default) vixie-cron: 'Requires: syslog >= 1.4.1' Realistically, I don't think the virtual provide needs versioned. Probably: sysklogd: Provides: syslog vixie-cron: Requires: syslog vixie-cron: Conflicts: sysklogd < 1.4.1 Hi,
Now that test1 has been released would it be possible to have these changes
committed in the next few days?
Thanks in advance,
jpo
PS - syslog-ng 1.6.9 has been released today ([1])

Jeremy, Bill, and Jason,
Would it be possible to have
sysklogd providing syslog and
initscripts and vixie-cron requiring syslog instead of sysklogd
before FC5Test2?
If I upload the patches, would it help?
Thanks in advance,
jpo
OK, I'll submit a new version of sysklogd that provides: syslog today - patches not required - thanks. Thanks for the updated packages: - sysklogd-1.4.1-34.src.rpm - initscripts-8.19-1.src.rpm - vixie-cron-4.1-42.FC5.src.rpm /jpo Problem solved with above rawhide updates and syslog-ng-1.6.9-2 from Fedora Extras development branch (syslog-ng-1.6.9-2.fc5 also started providing syslog). |
Description of problem: syslog-ng is removed when the sysklogd RPM is updated Steps to Reproduce: 1) system with sysklogd installed 2) install syslog-ng (in Fedora Extras) 3) build/install a sysklogd RPM with a bigger NVR Actual results: the syslog-ng package is removed from the system. The system loses its log daemon if the syslog-ng is the active one. Expected results: Be able to keep the syslog-ng package installed Additional info: I believe the the problem is caused by the Provides statement· I had to include in syslog-ng specfile: "Provides: sysklogd = 1.4.1-99" The above statement allows sysadmins to remove sysklogd and leave only syslog-ng installed. The problem is that sysklogd is required by the initscripts and the vixie-cron packages. Example (FC4 system): $ rpm -e --test sysklogd error: Failed dependencies: sysklogd >= 1.3.31 is needed by (installed) \ initscripts-8.11.1-1.i386 sysklogd >= 1.3.33-6 is needed by (installed) \ vixie-cron-4.1-36.FC4.i386 I believe a possible solution would involve using a neutral name (e.g.: syslog) that both daemon - sysklogd and syslog-ng - would provide. This solution requires changing the following Core packages: 1) sysklogd (provide statement) 2) initscripts (require statement) 3) vixie-cron (require statement)
