Upstream moved from syslog-ng to rsyslog during the move from 5 -> 6, as such the configuration is now /etc/rsyslog.conf.  However, because this is rsyslog now, your existing syslog configurations will not work.  You will either need to move to rsyslog or remove rsyslog and install syslog-ng if you wish to continue using your existing configurations.
