Binary package hint: rsyslog

I have very little experience with rsyslog, but it is causing problems on my 64 bit machine as well. It always fails when the update-manager runs.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS both 64 Bit and 32 Bit Versions

This bug was reported against an Ubuntu version that's long been EOL. Please try to reproduce with a supported release and report a new bug if appropriate. Thanks.
