Apparently "they" must have been "me" messing up while using mergemaster.
The error message is:
Additional daemons: syslogd syslogd: servname not supported for ai_socktype
syslogd: child PID 76 exited with return code 1
Which appears to be caused by the fact that /etc/services only contains:
nameserver 42/tcp name
ftp 21/tcp
domain 53/tcp nameserver
domain 53/udp nameserver
cmd 514/tcp shell
I wonder how I messed that one up?
Cheers,
