Comment # 1 on bug 924451 from Volker Kuhlmann

This is weird.

# zypper in logger
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'logger' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'logger' found.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.

# zypper in util-linux-systemd

# rpm -q --whatprovides logger
no package provides logger

# rpm -q --provides util-linux-systemd | grep logg
util-linux:/bin/logger

So util-linux-systemd provides a /bin/logger for util-linux??
