dependency of xbian-update to klogd and sysklogd - magenbrot - 10th Apr, 2013 10:40 PM

Hi,

I tried to install rsyslog to enable remote logging on a central syslog server. This failed because the packages klogd and sysklogd are a dependency of xbian-update and can not be removed.

Why is that and can I somehow install rsyslog anyways?

regards
magenbrot

XBian Beta 1 will drop the dependency of sysklogd and klogd, you should be able to remove them by executing
Code:
sudo dpkg --force-depends --force-conflicts -r sysklogd klogd

This is of course quite hacky but should do the trick

thx for the info about the beta. meanwhile I'll use your workaround.
