[Syslog-ng-maintainers] Bug#802888: syslog-ng: Fixed in syslog-ng 3.7.3

[J Mo]

Package: syslog-ng
Version: 3.5.6-2.1
Followup-For: Bug #802888

I was finding this bug today on my system. Noticed that all of my kernel messages were from five minutes in the future.

It looks like this bug has finally been fixed as of last month:

https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/issues/121

Looks like it's supposed to be fixed in 3.7.3. 3.7.1 is is unstable as I write this, so this bug should be toast soon.

This has been a known issue for more than two years now??? Wow.
