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.....
