Doc Text:
Rsyslog has its modules in the /usr/lib{,64} directory tree. This can cause problems if the /usr directory resides on a different filesystem and the filesystem is unavailable during the startup of the daemon. The updated package has relocated the module directory to /lib{,64}, which is expected to be always accessible.

Description Steve Grubb 2009-12-11 15:22:42 UTC
Description of problem:
Rsyslog has its modules in the /usr/lib directory tree. They should be in /lib so that diskless installs or nfs and iscsi /usr mounts work.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ql rsyslog | grep usr
