Bug#774904: systemd: Some systems (upgrades?) fail to put journal into syslog

[Daniel Dickinson]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-8
Severity: normal

As I mentioned in my previous bug report I've (at least temporarily) had
to switch my system back to sysvinit because of issues with initscripts
failing to start on some systems, however I still feel I ought to report
the bugs I've found.

This second bug is that on system systems (upgrades) the journal fails
to go to the syslog.  This seemed to have been resolved on the system where
I originally observed it (and the bug on the topic closed), however it turns
out that after a reboot the problem came back.

In particular deluged and cyrus-imapd had no logs even though the information
was in journalctl. deluged actually logs to a non-syslog file but errors
with starting deluge go to journal (because it's before deluge is actually
started and the init system that is doing the logs).

Regards,

Daniel
