Definitely not apt. > The problems are: > - - messages regarding klogd and anacron are incorrect as syslog-ng provides > system-log-daemon so dependencies are met Since sysklogd and syslog-ng conflict, sysklogd must be removed before syslog-ng can be installed, so there is a window where packages depending on system-log-daemon are broken. As you can see from the message, this situation is being explicitly permitted in order to allow the upgrade to complete. > - - these messages are displayed twice This seems harmless enough, but would be dpkg's fault. > - - syslog-ng is started, then stopped and then started again, why?
