KILLed rsyslog but it doesn't make any difference. Tried purging rsyslog but that just tries stopping again. Once KILLed it tries starting it again, which makes no sense at all seen as I'm trying to purge it.
I have tried removing /etc/init.d/rsyslog so that invoke-rc.d does nothing but it still gets stuck on "start rsyslog". rsyslog is thoroughly broken on this server. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsyslog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1417037 Title: Upgrade to 7.4.4-1ubuntu2.5 hangs Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've just ran an update+dist-upgrade which pulled 7.4.4-1ubuntu2.5.
