One of the problems with Ubuntu is its stubbornness.
This bug is 7 years old now. It's pretty obvious that it's a bug and no Canonical employee ever disputed this in the bug's comments. The only progress they made so far was to replace the dependency of
sysklogd
with
rsyslog
(which was only to make Ubuntu's dependency system work since
sysklogd
was dropped/replaced with
rsyslog
over the years). It's a shame that Ubuntu doesn't provide more attention to the details.
The fix is to rebuild the
ubuntu-minimal
package (at least in 12.04) and replace the dependencies of
rsyslog
with
system-log-daemon
. It's simple and works flawlessly. Ahh ... yet another reason to revert back to Debian.
