I've had a weird regression with syslog-ng recently. Dunno if it's
related to a new release of the Cygwin DLL because I've only just
spotted it.
When I try to start syslog-ng as a service recently it fails to load
with the following in /var/log/syslog-ng.log.
cat /var/log/syslog-ng.log
**
GLib:ERROR:../glib/gmain.c:4090:g_main_context_check_unlocked: assertion

Bail out! GLib:ERROR:../glib/gmain.c:4090:g_main_context_check_unlocked:
assertion failed: (i <= 0 || fds[i - 1].fd < fds[i].fd)
I've attached my cygcheck and the contents of /etc/syslog-ng.
Any ideas?
The failing machine is running Windows 11 Pro I'm using the UDP output
of syslog-ng to generate warning emails when successful sshd/http logins
occur from public IP addresses on the heavily armoured syslog server so
I'm loathe to do it but I'll try upgrading the Cygwin DLL on another
non-critical but Windows 10 machine to see how that goes.
Okay, a bit more info.
I've just upgraded my Cygwin installation on a Windows 10 machine & it
too is now exhibiting the fault.
Attached are the pre- & post-upgrade cygchecks. Doing a diff it appears
that libglib2.0_0 has also been upgraded, amongst other things, so maybe
that's the source of the new error.
Ah-ha! If I downgrade libglib2.0_0 from 2.84.0-1 back to 2.64.6-1 the
problem goes away.
Calling the maintainer for syslog-ng and/or libglib2.0. The latest Cygwin
release of these packages are still exhibiting the same assertion.
If syslog-ng has become orphaned could someone please let me know and I'll check
it out myself and try to locate the problem.
Check the package sources for status:
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/syslog-ng-src.html
which are based on sources from 2011 that no longer appear to be available
online, although other old releases appear to be available from github: latest
is 4.8.1 under L/GPL;
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/glib2.0-src.html
which recently jumped 20 minor versions in 2 years!
