FWIW: I replaced /usr/sbin/rsyslogd with one from rsyslog-5.8.6-1ubuntu8.2 on another system (which I thankfully did *not* "upgrade") and it's working again.
I've attached strace output of running the broken rsyslogd, in case anybody's interested. ** Attachment added: "strace -f of broken rsyslogd" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1187820/+attachment/3695593/+files/strace.rsyslogd -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1187820 Title: Upgraded rsyslog (5.8.6-1ubuntu8.3) no longer logs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1187820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
