This looks much like a dup of #428843 - could you please check if you have rsyslog installed?

The situation is somewhat strange. /etc/init.d/rsyslog and /etc/init.d/sysklogd both exist, but dpkg -l lists the corresponding packages as "rc" in the first two columns.

I am happy to help debugging/testing this. Should I install one of the packages manually to see whether that makes the crash go away? Or should I do nothing to see whether the packaging infrastructure will automatically do the right thing? (It's not clear to me whether I caused this situation myself. If so then I can't expect the packaging infrastructure to fix it obviously.)

I installed slapd manually, and it seems to have an (indirect) dependency on syslog.

I don't recall any other recent action that might have an influence on this.

Hi,
Your question sounds on track. rsyslog is not installed. Also the
description of rsyslog rings familiar bells. There have been complaints
when updating gdm that gconf could not be reached because of internal
networking problems, possibly from TCP/ip not being enabled for ORBit. That
complaint also suggested that nfs might have been damaged after a system
crash due to power to the machine being removed during operation: that has
happened.

I'll install rsyslog and report on the outcome.

Thanks for your email and your help.

Steve Faulkner.

Originally I didn't have it installed. Then I read on another bug, with the Software Center crashing, that if you install rsyslog, it will fix that bug. So, I do have it install now.

But I can't be sure that aptd hasn't crashed since installing rsyslog.

I notice if I do a search via the gnome-search-tool, for services-admin, it

The situation with me is the same as with AnthonyC - I didn't have rsyslog installed at the time the issue occurred. rsyslog remained in "Residual Config" as it was impossible to be removed (another ticket). Instead of removing it I've installed it and the problem did not appear again.
Hope that info helps.
