I first installed metalog as suggested by the installation guide. I decided to switch to syslog-ng. I did the following:
emerge unmerge metalog emerge syslog-ng
rm -rf /etc/metalog (was config protected) rc-update del metalog
On reboot, I got a warning that metalog provided resource "logger" which is a duplicate of syslog-ng. Then got an error starting metalog (cause its gone).
I tried 'rc-update del metalog' and it said it wasn't there.
Finally I realized I had to 'rm /etc/init.d/metalog' then all was fine.
Was there a way to avoid this or is this a bug of sorts?
