Description Matthias Runge 2012-02-22 19:01:21 UTC

man-db requires ... requires cronie requires rsyslog.

conflicting file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog from rsyslog makes it impossible to install syslog-ng in parallel to rsyslog.

Removing rsyslog removes cronie, cronie-anachron and man-db.

At least in F16 cronie was duing the right thing and requiring the neutral syslog package (which is provided by the old sysklogd, syslog-ng, and rsyslog).

The rsyslog packagers must have modified the syslog logrotate file (again).

That appears to be a bug.

Comment 2 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2012-02-22 20:42:47 UTC

The rsyslog in rawhide (F18) is still providing the neutral "syslog" package. But it no longer appears to do so in the F17 branch (and that is a rsyslog packaging bug).

cronie is still requiring syslog in rawhide and in F17.

hmm, removing rsyslog including it's dependencies, then installing syslog-ng, cron-anachron, man-db, and cronie works.
