yes, i'm somewhat grappling with that now.

i actually tried this first. i created /var/empty root:root and tried
installing sysklogd and RPM still complained:
(09:47:49)[beldridg@...h tmp]$ ls -l /var |grep emp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Oct 10 08:23 empty
(09:48:18)[beldridg@...h tmp]$ sudo rpm -F
/tmp/sysklogd-1.4.1-1owl.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
/var/empty is needed by sysklogd-1.4.1-1owl
so, is it a permissions problem on /var/empty?
