Comment 1 Radovan Sroka 2017-11-01 11:00:23 UTC
What version of libfastjson do you have? (rpm -qa
libfastjson)
Try to install latest library from testing. (dnf
install libfastjson --enablerepo=updates-testing)
Comment 2 Mace Moneta 2017-11-01 11:23:13 UTC
Updating libfastjson from updates-testing allows
rsyslog to start. Missing requisite for the
rsyslog package?
Comment 3 Panos Kavalagios 2017-11-01 11:24:10 UTC
I can verify that the update from testing repo
resolves the issue:
# rpm -qa libfastjson
libfastjson-0.99.6-1.fc26.x86_64
# dnf update libfastjson --enablerepo=updates-
testing

Comment 4 Radovan Sroka 2017-11-01 12:12:12 UTC
This library should arrive to stable in few hours
I hope.

No that is not necessary.
This requirement is enforced on library versioning
level. So when condition doesn't meet .so library
can't be linked.
The problem is that update of rsyslog and
libfastjson wasn't grouped. Wasn't atomic. So I
pushed libfastjson to stable today. Problem
resolves right after library becomes available. It
can take few hours.

Comment 7 Andrew Haveland-Robinson 2017-11-01 14:25:37 UTC
Thanks Radovan,
dnf update libfastjson --enablerepo=updates-
testing
did indeed fix the problem. Logging is being
replicated to my syslog server using my old
rsyslog.conf
(I tried to use rsyslog.conf.rpmnew, but got no
output and no forwarding, so this is something
else I'll have to look into, but the old conf at
least works).
After spending some time upgrading and downgrading
rsyslog from about 10 servers, it would have been
good if this could have been caught earlier before
publishing to the stable repo!
