Rsyslog.conf parsing failed in Ubuntu 16 with Rainerscript

[klaurean]

Having issues with Ubuntu 16.04 which has rsyslog.conf in RainerScript format.
We are puppetizing deployments for Ubuntu 16.04 OSes and we need to have it run successfully with this new format.
When running the rsyslog.lns on the file, we get the error below:
Error: /Stage[main]/Entos_syslog_config/Syslog[kern_info]: Could not evaluate: Augeas didn't load /etc/rsyslog.conf with Rsyslog.lns: Get did not match entire input (line:13, character:0)
Error: /Stage[main]/Entos_syslog_config/Syslog[all_info]: Could not evaluate: Augeas didn't load /etc/rsyslog.conf with Rsyslog.lns: Get did not match entire input (line:13, character:0)
...etc...

Using augtool, I found that it is the following two lines that are in rainerscript format instead of legacy (if commented out and replaced with legacy format, augtool runs fine on rsyslog.conf on this OS).

"rainerscript"
module(load="imuxsock") # provides support for local system logging
module(load="imklog") # provides kernel logging support

"legacy"
$ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging
$ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support

Thanks!

Hi @domcleal please let me know if you are the right person for this. This is my first issue submission so I am still learning the procedure!

I can confirm I see this issue as well on 16.04.
