Peter,

correct, the --syslog and --logfile I broke in 6.4.20 were fixed in 6.4.21.

The Fedora package maintainer wrote me this morning that he updated
things earlier today, but the builds will take a few days to propagate.

My addition is that the daring may check
<https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=1046> and
grab their RPM individually and test, but I am not affiliated with
Fedora and cannot help or support this - but feel free to share your
findings on Fedora's Bodhi if it works for you (it did not for me), or
here, if you try.

Regards,
Matthias
