Karmic will be switching to rsyslog. We don't intend to change the metapackage - doing so would actually make it harder to switch people over to a single different standard logging daemon, because the dependencies would still permit sysklogd so we'd end up supporting two logging daemons indefinitely. This is exactly the kind of reason we specify individual implementations in the metapackages rather than using virtual packages. If you don't want to follow our recommendations then you're quite welcome to remove the metapackages. I realise people are unhappy with this, but I don't think we can please everyone here.
I don't intend to close this bug as Won't Fix, though; firstly, it would probably just get re-filed, and secondly, maybe in the future we will come up with a better way to deal with this kind of thing. At the moment, though, using alternative dependencies in the metapackages is (in our best judgement) not that better way. -- ubuntu-minimal should depend on system-log-daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33394 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
