Hello pitti, Following your advice, I did a new merge of 8.12 from debian. As it turns out, it was beneficial in the sense that this very new 8.12 has modification that I had sent upstream which required a specific patch.
I disabled the build of the kafka & mongo db packages in debian/rules as suggested, and dropped the rsyslog-dmesg service alltogether. Here is the latest debdiff tested against the debian package. I also tested install & reran the tests outlined in the FFE bug just to be sure. ** Patch removed: "rsyslog_debian_to_ubuntu_v2.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1464201/+attachment/4453387/+files/rsyslog_debian_to_ubuntu_v2.debdiff ** Patch added: "rsyslog_debian_8.12.0_to_ubuntu.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1464201/+attachment/4455134/+files/rsyslog_debian_8.12.0_to_ubuntu.debdiff ** Summary changed: - Please merge rsyslog 8.9.0-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main) + Please merge rsyslog 8.12.0-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main) ** Description changed: - debian unstable has rsyslog-8.9.0-3.
