Funny, I just encounter this issue today. Looks like version 6 is more strict:

/etc/syslog-ng/patterndb.d/default/anacron.pdb: error validating pdb file: Non-zero exit code from xmllint while validating PDB file, schema version 6, rc=3, error: /etc/syslog-ng/patterndb.d/default/anacron.pdb:59: element actions: Schemas validity error : Element 'actions': Missing child element(s). Expected is ( action ).

Version 5 was fine.

Uh. It is not trivial to fix. The most reasonable plan I see consists in removing the patterndb::simple::action define type completely and only allow to add actions in rules by passing them at the patterndb::simple::rule level with the actions parameter.

This allows to check if we have or don't have actions for a rule and emit or not emit the <actions> tag respectively. This is what #43 currently does, but as we allow the other way to add actions it is currently broken.

Looks like version 6 is more strict [...] Version 5 was fine.

🤦 okay, I was testing with the commented version of the test command, with the --validate flag. This command fail regardless of the version used.

Without --validate, the latest version can be used. This explain why I never saw the issue before.
