My colleague asked me to downgrade syslog-ng from 3.5.4.1-r0.102 to 3.3.5 so our existing syslog-ng.conf files may be used without having to hunt down the incompatibilities which are blocking us. Apparently (see the log below) this might interfere with packagegroup-ni-base. This is troubling. We are using the cRIO-9033 as a Linux computer running our applications and so we might not need these applications. However, we depend on NI-MAX and safemode to keep working and can't afford to destablize the system.
- Should I use one or the other of the --force switches mentioned?
- Build 3.3.5 from the .tar.gz and try and "make install" and sort out the issues after?
I will go back to my colleague and also ask to leave it as it is.
