Subject: [devuan-dev] bug#952: openrc: syslog-ng service fails to start
Package: openrc
Version: 0.56-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: wirelessduck@???

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

     Switching from sysv-rc to openrc


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?


     I installed Devuan with sysvinit. I also installed syslog-ng-core to replace rsyslog.
     syslog-ng was starting up successfully and logging to /var/log/syslog.
     Later I switched to openrc with `apt install openrc` and rebooted.


* What was the outcome of this action?

     syslog-ng service no longer starts up under openrc.


     I can see syslog-ng in the output of `rc-service --list`
     and `rc-update show default`.


     I can't see syslog-ng in the output of `rc-status --all` but it
     does appear in the output of `service --status-all`.


     I can start the service manually with `rc-service syslog-ng start`
     but then it still doesn't show in the output of `rc-status --all`.


     After reboot the syslog-ng service will be stopped again.



* What outcome did you expect instead?

     I expected syslog-ng to start on system startup as it did when
     running sysv-rc.
