Description of problem: syslog-ng and rsyslog both wants to install the file: /etc/logrotate.d/syslog To be able to have both excellent loggers installed at the same time this file must be identical. I have sent a request to rsyslog package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269244 to change their version of /etc/logrotate.d/syslog such that syslog-ng also can use the file unmodified. Attached is a patch to change /etc/logrotate.d/syslog in syslog-ng to the same version, this way users of both packages will be happy. Setup has been tested, install both rsyslog and syslog-ng is now possible, make it very easy to switch between loggers as users may want. Logrotate works as before. Please apply attached patch.

Ping? Two months to apply a simple fix? More fun added: this issue now crashes Fedora 23 installer: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1287841
The approach here seems sensible to me, the change is small. Thoughts?
