I think there was another RHEL repo that you have to enable to solve that dependency problem.  On my Rocky 9 box these are the repos I have enabled:

[root@lists01 srv-joe]# dnf repolist enabled

repo id               repo name

appstream             Rocky Linux 9 - AppStream

baseos                Rocky Linux 9 - BaseOS

crb                   Rocky Linux 9 - CRB

duosecurity           Duo Security Repository

epel                  Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 - x86_64

epel-cisco-openh264   Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64

extras                Rocky Linux 9 - Extras

zabbix                Zabbix Official Repository - x86_64

zabbix-agent2-plugins Zabbix Official Repository (Agent2 Plugins) - x86_64

zabbix-non-supported  Zabbix Official Repository (non-supported) - x86_64

I think you need RHEL9 CRB repo to resolve the Perl dependencies.  Not that it matters at this point, but if you boss makes you try RHEL9 again have CRB enabled.

I did have the rsyslog package installed, but that's called rsyslog, not syslog. I had a ton of dependency failures early as well, regarding perl packages, so I just decided it's not good enough, so I went for using Debian instead - my boss wasn't happy, but he'll be content when it works.

Try installing the rsyslog package. This is what I have installed on EPEL 9.

rsyslog.x86_64                8.2102.0-117.el9  @AppStream

I had trouble with RH9 preferring the "journal" over syslog, so I also had to add some lines to rsyslog configuration like:

module(load="imuxsock"
      SysSock.Use="off")
module(load="imtcp") # needs to be done just once
input(type="imtcp" port="514")

You can put this a new file in (for example) /etc/rsyslog.d/sympalog.conf) and it will be included automatically and not overwritten by patches. The filename just has to end in .conf.

Lastly, I had a problem on a RHEL 9 machine with only high priorities being logged.  I had to create this systemd override file to configure the journal to forward on all priorities:

$ cat /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/haproxy.conf
MaxLevelStore=7
MaxLevelSyslog=7

Again, the filename can be anything that ends in .conf.

This may not be a complete configuration, but should get you started.

Good luck,

-Rob

I've got our install on Rocky 9, and I don't remember that error.  I don't even remember having to change anything with rsyslog.  Our install was the version in EPEL as well.

Hi all
I'm setting up a new machine to replace an old machine running
mailman2. Since RHEL is the standard distro here, I've installed RHEL9
on the machine. Sympa isn't in the standard repos, but it's in EPEL,
so I grab it from there, "yum install sympa{,-nginx}". Then I try to
start some of the service, but they won't, since they rely on service
'syslog'. I can't remember last time I saw that, it's been rsyslog(d)
or perhaps syslog-ng for 10+ years.
Any idea how to fix this while staying on RHEL? I don't want to edit
some service files, just to have them overwritten by next software
update.

Can you please share some logs ?
The description is too terse, I don't understand what the issue is, but
there shouldn't be any reason sympa cannot work on RHEL.
Regards,
Xavier
