Public bug reported:

I've noticed this for a long time but never looked into it. My logs have
a bunch of entries of the form:

rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 10' suspended, next retry is Mon Jan 29
04:08:13 2018 [v8.16.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2007 ]

This is caused by these lines in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf:

# The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility.  To use it,
# you must invoke `xconsole' with the `-file' option:
# 
#    $ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...]
#
# NOTE: adjust the list below, or you'll go crazy if you have a reasonably
#      busy site..
#
daemon.*;mail.*;\
        news.err;\
        *.=debug;*.=info;\
        *.=notice;*.=warn       |/dev/xconsole

/dev/xconsole is not setup by default in Ubuntu. Commenting out the
above and restarting rsyslog resolves the issue.

This issue was reported to Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745492

and they disabled xconsole configuration by default in 8.14.0-2, however
subsequent Ubuntu merges left the configuration in
debian/50-default.conf.
