This is a known problem in the underlying ivykis library, and can be fixed by applying a patch to lib/ivykis, something along these lines: https://github.com/buytenh/ivykis/commit/89f67f97477aeba24aebfc58ae1a17e5bea69724.patch It will need some minor changes, as the ivykis included with 3.3.5 is a bit different from upstream. > I then can see syslog-ng master-process spawining childs, which segfault > immidiatly: > http://paste.debian.net/239439/ This sounds like another issue, also in ivykis, but a race condition: https://github.com/buytenh/ivykis/commit/144b88cbe4a04d53acbf4525d06cc1860571d36f.patch This should apply reasonably cleanly to lib/ivykis aswell. Both problems affect unstable aswell, but there the problem needs to be fixed in the ivykis library, I'll clone the bug report shortly. Since the syslog-ng maintainer already prepared an upload targeted at wheezy that fixes other RC bugs, these two patches should be added to that mix too. Nevertheless, I'll prepare an NMU later today and will prod the release team to let it through t-p-u (unstable has a whole new syslog-ng upstream version). > Build-depends for syslog-ng for wheezy are installed on host > gabrielli.debian.org in the wheezy chroot. I'll run some tests there with the fixes today, and will follow up with the results to this bug report.
