Details

Description:

The "syslog-ng" package doesn't report a dependency on a specific version of "filesystem" package.
While I'm not tracking packages' versions, I cannot say for sure when this dependency has arrisen, but an older filesystem which has no "/run" directory makes a fresh version of "syslog-ng" to report this errors:

syslog-ng: Error changing to directory=/run, errcode=2
syslog-ng: Error creating pid file; file='/run/syslog-ng.pid', error='No such file or directory'


Additional info:
* syslog-ng version: 3.3.3-1; filesystem 2010.02-4
* config and/or log files: "syslog-ng" should be present in DAEMONS list from rc.conf


Steps to reproduce:
1) Install a fresh version of Arch Linux from "2010.05" installation media
2) pacman -U ./syslog-ng-3.3.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
3) reboot

You have to use -Syu not just -U.
