recently I updated my system, including the baselayout update to
baselayout-1.11.7-r2.  However, when the system boots I get a message
from net.lo along the lines of

missing function: interface_variable

and all net devices, and everything that depends on net, fails to start.

So I added an empty interface_variables function in /etc/init.d/net.lo,
and then I get a message about missing interface_device, so I added that
as well.

This gets net.lo up, and hence the scripts that depend on it, but there
are lots of other complaints and net.eth0 doesn't start:

/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/iptunnel: line 56: interface_type: command
not found

and:
/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/dhcpcd: line 128: clean_pidfile: command
not found
 *          dhcpcd is already running on eth0


I have to do ifconfig, route, and resolv.conf manually...

What's going on?  This has been happening for a day or so, but I haven't
seen anything on bugzilla or the archives, so is it just me?  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
