Re: jessie-backports liblognorm2 missing

[Rhonda D'Vine <rhonda@deb.at>]

    Hi,

 reason being a newer liblognorm with a soname version change.  Either a
binNMU of rsyslog should fix that (asked buildd admins on irc about it,
but it might be that they prefer mail) - on the other hand rsyslog could
use an update given that there is a newer version in stretch, which
would also fix this. :)

 Hope that helps,
Rhonda
