Package: socklog Version: 2.1.0-8.1 Severity: normal Hi,
it's entirely valid and possible to run socklog to handle locally generated logs and e.g. syslog-ng to handle remote syslog clients. The new Conflicts: in the socklog package makes this unnecessarily hard in an attempt to prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot. Please also see #506173 and #893882. At the extreme, there could be a socklog-bin package that only provides the binaries with no configuration, no automatic service startup; and a socklog package which retains the Conflicts and Depends on socklog-bin. Thanks!
