[Syslog-ng-maintainers] Bug#1100890: syslog-ng does not find smart-multi-line.fsm

[Balazs Scheidler]

Package: syslog-ng-core
Version: 4.3.1-2build5
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: bazsi77 at gmail.com

The smart-multi-line.fsm file is missing from the syslog-ng-core package, resulting in ugly log messages at startup:

Mar 18 18:31:09 bzorp syslog-ng[491627]: [2025-03-18T18:31:09.775102] smart-multi-line: error opening smart-multi-line.fsm file; filename='/usr/share/syslog-ng/smart-multi-line.fsm', error='No such file or directory (2)'
Mar 18 18:31:09 bzorp syslog-ng[491627]: [2025-03-18T18:31:09.775115] smart-multi-line: your smart-multi-line.fsm seems to be empty or non-existent, automatic multi-line log extraction will probably not work; filename='/usr/share/syslog-ng/smart-multi-line.fsm'

This file is used by the group-lines() parser to automatically recognize backtraces from various languages.

The file itself is intalled by the upstream Makefiles to ${pkgdata}, so in my local environment it is:

${prefix}/share/axosyslog/smart-multi-line.fsm

The file itself is here:
