What version of libfastjson do you have? (rpm -qa libfastjson) Try to install latest library from testing. (dnf install libfastjson --enablerepo=updates-testing)
Updating libfastjson from updates-testing allows rsyslog to start. Missing requisite for the rsyslog package?
I can verify that the update from testing repo resolves the issue: # rpm -qa libfastjson libfastjson-0.99.6-1.fc26.x86_64 # dnf update libfastjson --enablerepo=updates-testing Fedora 26 - x86_64 - Test Updates 30 kB/s | 4.9 MB 02:47 Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'pharmefem', disabling.

This library should arrive to stable in few hours I hope.
(In reply to Mace Moneta from comment #2) > Updating libfastjson from updates-testing allows rsyslog to start. Missing > requisite for the rsyslog package? No that is not necessary. This requirement is enforced on library versioning level. So when condition doesn't meet .so library can't be linked. The problem is that update of rsyslog and libfastjson wasn't grouped. Wasn't atomic. So I pushed libfastjson to stable today. Problem resolves right after library becomes available. It can take few hours.

Thanks Radovan, dnf update libfastjson --enablerepo=updates-testing did indeed fix the problem. Logging is being replicated to my syslog server using my old rsyslog.conf (I tried to use rsyslog.conf.rpmnew, but got no output and no forwarding, so this is something else I'll have to look into, but the old conf at least works). After spending some time upgrading and downgrading rsyslog from about 10 servers, it would have been good if this could have been caught earlier before publishing to the stable repo!
