1 I've had some trouble in the past with "cfg-update" although it sure is
2 easy. After a recent upgrade to a new portage, or so I assume, I was asked
3 to decide what to do about a config file change to an entirely new system:
4 OpenRC. Not sure what to do, I probably bodged that.

6 Now I receive this message at times:
7
8 /etc/rc.conf: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `>>'
9 /etc/rc.conf: line 1: `>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> File 1'

11 Investigating I discover there is a "Baselayout and OpenRC Migration Guide"
12 that tells me

15 It is critical that you run dispatch-conf and ensure your /etc is up to
16 date before rebooting. Failure to do so will result in an unbootable system
17 and will require the use of the Gentoo LiveCD to perform the steps below to
18 repair your system.

20 So, my question is how can I recover and make sure any new config file has
21 been activated?

23 Thank you,
