When starting rsyslog I get the following:

/etc/init.d/rsyslog: 1: /etc/default/rsyslog: imudp: not found
/etc/init.d/rsyslog: 2: /etc/default/rsyslog: 127.0.0.1: not found
/etc/init.d/rsyslog: 3: /etc/default/rsyslog: 514: not found

My /etc/default/rsyslog file:

$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerAddress 127.0.0.1
$UDPServerRun 514

I had the same issue after running an update on Ubuntu 14.04. My guess is that /etc/init.d/rsyslog is outdated, because /etc/rsyslog.conf has exactly the same configuration with the individual rules below /etc/rsyslog.d/. So all I did to fix this was to check that /etc/rsyslog.conf contained what I wanted and then I removed the lines from /etc/init.d/rsyslog followed by a service restart.
