Hm. Rather than simply remove it, can we actually provide an upgrade path to rsyslog? I'd be happy to NMU a version of ksyslogd that does this in unstable (for consideration in wheezy), as long as rsyslog is truly a drop-in replacement. It seems that new squeeze installs default to using rsyslog. However, I still have several older systems that've been upgraded from earlier Debian releases that are still using ksyslogd/klogd. There's been no indication that ksyslogd had been deprecated in favor of something else. If not for the 100% klogd cpu bug (#680099), I'd probably have continued running it forever without realizing we've switched to rsyslog. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
