Package: rsyslog Version: 8.16.0-1+b4 Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: hurd
I get this to /var/log/syslog on each boot: Jul 2 16:19:36 luuska rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="8.16.0" x-pid="1207" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] start Jul 2 16:19:36 luuska rsyslogd-2066: could not load module '/usr/lib/rsyslog/imklog.so', dlopen: /usr/lib/rsyslog/imklog.so: undefined symbol: klogWillRunPrePrivDrop [v8.16.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2066 ] and although gnumach writes "unexpected RESEND from keyboard" to the console when I use a key combination to unfocus the virtualbox window, rsyslog does not forward that message to /var/log/kern.log. The error happens because the build system of rsyslog does not recognize the GNU Hurd and builds imklog.so without compiling bsd.c, which would define the missing symbols. To fix that, one would first have to patch configure.ac so it recognizes ${host}=i586-pc-gnu and sets os_type="bsd". (config.guess would output "i686-unknown-gnu0.8" instead but that doesn't matter here because dh_auto_configure provides the --build= option.) That change would fix the missing symbols but rsyslog would then hit a Hurd bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48371 "read(fd, NULL, 0) from /dev/klog blocks until there is data". This causes rsyslog to block on startup. To work around it, you can #if out the read call and related code in plugins/imklog/bsd.c (klogWillRunPostPrivDrop). Then it'll start quickly and actually log the kernel messages. After those fixes, rsyslog would still be slow to exit when the OS is shut down. I haven't tried to find the reason for that. I do not intend to publish any patches for rsyslog but I hope this description will help someone else fix the bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unreleased APT policy: (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: hurd-i386 (i686-AT386) Kernel: GNU-Mach 1.4+git20150409-486/Hurd-0.8 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages rsyslog depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libc0.3 2.22-13 ii libestr0 0.1.10-2 ii libjson-c3 0.12-3 ii liblogging-stdlog0 1.0.5-2 ii liblognorm2 1.1.2-1.1+b2 ii libuuid1 2.28-5 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages rsyslog recommends: ii logrotate 3.8.7-1+b1 Versions of packages rsyslog suggests: pn rsyslog-doc <none> pn rsyslog-gnutls <none> pn rsyslog-gssapi <none> pn rsyslog-mongodb <none> pn rsyslog-mysql | rsyslog-pgsql <none> pn rsyslog-relp <none> -- no debconf information
