It was not the package itself. It's OK. it was the syslog.conf that I had made an error in an entry I didn't catch at first. There is no such thing as a "local8" and that is what I had for logging. That was what was killing the whole shebang. I knew the syslog had changed, I just didn't catch the error by being in a hurry.
You said you had DEFAULT install. Here's the exact quote:
Me: "Is this a default syslog config or has it been modified to maybe redirect to a logging box?"
You: "No, logging box -- everything as far as syslog and messages is default."
Redirecting all logging to a different level is not default.
The point is if you would have ran the command and seen that the config file had changed you could have looked into it and saw that there was something messed up.

I *DID* look at the config file, and I knew when I looked, it had changed. When I stated it was a default install, I meant there was no logging box involved. If you insist on continuing on with this dialog because I didn't do as you stated, then take it offline. Nobody wants to hear two grown men bitch at each other. As far as I'm concerned, this discussion is over. I made the mistake, and I admitted it. What more do you want? A confession?
