Jason,

    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.

Sorry to trouble you.....
