>Description:
Among many other things, syslog-ng changed the default configuration file path determination method between 2.0.0 and 2.0.3.  This was missed by the port maintainer (an easy mistake if you set $syslog_ng_flags="-f /alt/file.conf"

seklecki at ravage:/tmp$ diff -u syslog-ng-2.0.0/syslog-ng.spec.bb \
syslog-ng-2.0.2/syslog-ng.spec.bb | grep -i conf


-./configure --prefix=/ --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
-  --sysconfdir=/etc

+./configure --prefix=%{prefix} --mandir=%{_mandir} --infodir=%{prefix}/share/info \
+  --sysconfdir=/etc/syslog-ng

-------------------------------

>How-To-Repeat:
Portupgrade to 2.0.2
>Fix:

Regardless of when/why this changed and who is responsible, here are the corrective actions that need to be taken to resolve the problem:

-) pkg-plist needs to reflect %%PREFIX%%/etc/syslog-ng.conf instead of etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

-) pkg-message needs to mention that configuration file path has changed

-) ${required_files}= in ports/sysutils/syslog-ng2/files/syslog-ng.sh.in needs to reflect %%PREFIX%%/etc/syslog-ng.conf instead of %%PREFIX%%/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
