19 Looking at the ebuild and ./configure --help output, it seems to be used
20 to install service files and to change the restart command used by
21 logrotate, which would cause you a problem later if you did actually
22 get it working properly.
23
24 There's also a configure option to use the journal, which may be the
25 source of the problem.

29 Worth a try. If it does fix it I would consider it a bug since adding
30 systemd support should not implicitly disable it under openrc.
