[Syslog-ng-maintainers] Bug#843937: Syslog-ng 3.8 bandaid

[TheSin]

I get the same issue, I’ve even dpkg —purged and reinstalled.  The issue is that as you pointed out it’s looking for

/usr/share/include/scl/system/tty10.conf

Instead of

/usr/share/syslog-ng/include/scl/system/tty10.conf

This can be traced back and correct in /etc/syslog-ng/scl.conf. syslog-ng-data seems to be wrong

@define scl-root "`syslog-ng-data`/include/scl”

Changed to 

@define scl-root "`syslog-ng-data`/syslog-ng/include/scl”

Allows me to install and start syslog-ng again, this is NOT a proper fix but it does get critical systems up again.  I haven’t had time to trace where syslog-ng-data is set or why it’s wrong.  But that is my findings so far, how it helps.
