1 Ahhhh poop, feel like a dork replying to myself. But I made some progress.
2
3 I've narrowed down the problem to the gpm init.d script. For some reason,
4 depscan doesn't like it at all. I messed around, and found an interesting,
5 albeit STRANGE, pattern:
6
7 if I named gpm to:
8 gpm-
9 gpm~
10 gpm1
11 gmp
12 gpf
13 mouse
14 mouse-script
15
16 and tried to add it using rc-update (makeing sure it was removed first),
17 depscan would segfault. However, when I named gpm to
18 testing
19 test
20 blah
21 foobar
22 it worked great.
23
24 I also tried commenting out everything inside the script, moving stuff
25 around, blah blah blah, no go.
26
27 Uhhhm.... HUH??????????????????????? This is mucked up. :D
