Package: dsyslog
Version: 0.3.0
Severity: normal
A failed message was encountered when running /etc/init.d/dsyslog start
To try and see what had failed I ran dsyslog from the command line and
experienced the output below.

To workaround the problem I commented out loadmodule "filter_droppriority.so";
in dsyslog.conf
The attached diff comments out loadmodule and deals with a separate issue
for which I will file another bug report.
I think that the file /usr/lib/dsyslog/filter_droppriority.so is missing in the
Squeeze version
and the Lenny version of dsyslog.
