New Contents: 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.
