Package: rsyslog
Version: 3.18.6-4
Severity: normal
As shown below, rsyslog will not start if there is any process running with the
pid found in the pidfile specified with the -i switch. Rsyslog should only
refuse to start if an rsyslog process is running with such a pid. In this case,
cron was running with the pid and rsyslog failed to start.
root@xen00:/# bash -x /etc/init.d/rsyslog start
+ test -x /usr/sbin/rsyslogd
+ case "$1" in
+ echo 'Starting rsyslog...'

I can't reproduce this problem (anymore) under Debian sid, so closing
