Not replacing deleted config file /etc/init.d/rsyslog
This is the problem - ucf thinks that it knew about /etc/init.d/rsyslog
before it got deleted (and so it thinks you deliberately removed it).
AFAICT:
This should happen if and only iff /etc/init.d/rsyslog was already
recorded in /var/lib/ucf/hashfile - then ucf will deduce that the admin
removed the file and leave it alone
On my testing system (which hasn't yet had this upgrade applied), that
isn't the case - ucf knows nothing about this file.
If you look in /var/lib/ucf you should see old hashfile and registry
entries.
Is it possible to see in there if /etc/init.d/rsyslog was recorded in
hashfile and/or registry before you did this upgrade? And if so, which
package had registered it?
rsyslog has
rm_conffile /etc/init.d/rsyslog 8.2110.0-2~
in debian/rsyslog.maintscript (which dh_installdeb arranges to feed to
dpkg-maintscript-helper), which ought to only remove an unmodified
conffile and not touch ucf at all.
