Please do not use any of these workarounds, but instead install 8.2508.0-2, which is fixed.

do that wrapper part

update rsyslog... remove file after (or leave it, whatever, i removed it so it doesnt clash in the future with something)

There are a couple of options available.

One is to download libgcrypt-1.11.2 from https://www.gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.11.2.tar.bz2 and extract libgcrypt-config, which is a shell script. Put that anywhere it will be found during the build, and it should work. In my case, I simply dropped it into /usr/bin (not necessarily optimal, but I'm lazy).

A different workaround is suggested at https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/libgcrypt-config-missing/59509/2 ("It turned out that simply replacing libgcrypt-config in the package with pkg-config solved the problem."). I haven't tried this one.

@SoLoR Would you mind sharing your workaround ?

checking for libgcrypt-config... no configure: error: in '/home/solor/.cache/yay/rsyslog/src/rsyslog-8.2508.0': configure: error: libgcrypt-config not found in PATH and pkg-config is not available. libgcrypt is missing. See 'config.log' for more details ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... -> error making: rsyslog-exit status 4

with latest update and yes libgcrypt and pkgconf are installed:

edit: issue is libgcrypt with 1.11 doesnt come anymore with libgcrypt-config, so pkg-config should be used.

edit2: according to this commit https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/5405 they suppose to fixed this in latest release, however its not working. chatgpt found workaround with creating fake libgcrypt-config that emulates pkg-config and it worked after, however this is not a "solution" :)

The license identifiers are not SPDX compliant, this should be changed: 

rsyslog E: GPL3 is not a valid SPDX license identifier. See https://spdx.org/licenses/ for valid identifiers, or prefix the identifier with 'LicenseRef-', if it is custom.

Regards and thanks for the package!

You should have bumped the pkgrel when doing the build-fix as yay didn't pick up that the package had been updated.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD

I did have to do:

rm -fr ~/.cache/yay/rsyslog

To be able to build the package

Dropped the install and the bogus spool directory. I think this was old cruft only.

thx1138 commented on 2024-07-04 20:27 (UTC)

@xiota Aha! Thanks. Still, rsyslog.install is not anywhere otherwise here linked from the AUR. It is not a file listed under "Sources" on this page.

By the way, I do not have a /var/spool/rsyslog directory, and there do not seem to be any consequences. man 5 rsyslog.conf and man 8 rsyslogd make no mention of a directory /var/spool/rsyslog. There is also no mention of a /var/spool/rsyslog in any of the sample .conf files in the build source.

Any idea why this package would want to install a /var/spool/rsyslog? Maybe the reference to /var/spool/rsyslog should be removed entirely?
