Title:
  package rsyslog 8.16.0-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Rsyslog got removed for testing syslog-ng (in a quite fresh Ubuntu
  Mate 16.04 installation). This removes also the meta-package ubuntu-
  minimal (why this nonsense?). But then syslog-ng got removed and
  rsyslog re-installed. It seems that the installation of rsyslog fails
  then repeatedly. The installation of ubuntu-minimal works (no rsyslog
  installation errors) but after a reboot the starting of rsyslog fails
  with the message that the installation failed.
