Hello, then i`m trying to upgrade server i`m getting this error: The user `syslog' is already a member of `adm'. invoke-rc.d: initscript rsyslog, action "restart" failed. dpkg: error processing package rsyslog (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Can someone please guide me how to get rid of this error?
In shell: uttt@******:~$ sudo service rsyslog status * rsyslogd is not running and syslog file is empty When i try to start from shell, i`m not getting any error..
system was updated from 12.04 to 14.04. Rebooted several times, rsyslog not working.. dpkg-reconfigure tried before it gives "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: rsyslog is broken or not fully installed" Spamassassin is not starting to: Restarting SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: setlogsock(): type='unix': path not available at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Logger/Syslog.pm line 100. setlogsock(): type='tcp': TCP service unavailable at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Logger/Syslog.pm line 121. logger: failed to add syslog method: logger: syslog initialization failed spamd. It is safe to reinstall rsyslog? sudo apt-get purge rsyslog sudo apt-get install rsyslog /var/log/syslog is empty
