Have you done rc-update del metalog default? If so, you also need to delete the metalog rc-script, i.e. rm /etc/init.d/metalog (portage doesn't do this automatically since the config files in /etc are protected by default) Then do a rc-update add syslog-ng default, and it should work. You'll probably run into the same problem if you use vcron. The rc-script for it changed from vcron to vixie-cron (like the whole ebuild) late last year and caused similar problems. Again the solution is to delete the old vcron script from the runlevel and /etc/init.d/ and adding the new script to the runlevel. As a sidenote, when you unmerge stuff it's generally a good idea to look at the emerge output. Not all files are necessarily deleted. Things might remain behind because they're protected config files (visible as !cfgpro in the output) or because they've been modified afterwards (visible as !mtime). Generally it's safe to delete the config files manually, but the changed files might be trickier. -- Jani-Matti H�tinen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
