Description:
syslog-ng.service refuses to start since my last update.
The problem comes from the configuration files embedded with the package, which seem to be outdated.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
extra/syslog-ng 3.9.1-2
* config and/or log files etc.
I didn't make any change on the files installed by default with the package.

Steps to reproduce:
You just have to check the configuration file's syntax with :
# syslog-ng -s
syslog-ng: Error setting capabilities, capability management disabled; error='Operation not permitted'
[2017-02-24T21:42:46.928862] WARNING: Configuration file format is too old, syslog-ng is running in compatibility mode Please update it to use the syslog-ng 3.9 format at your time of convenience, compatibility mode can operate less efficiently in some cases. To upgrade the configuration, please review the warnings about incompatible changes printed by syslog-ng, and once completed change the @version header at the top of the configuration file.;
