1 *sigh*

3 Why is there always something breaking?

5 I did some updates to 'world' and 'system' last night as I've done a hundred
6 times before. Everything seemed to be going fine. I don't believe I updated
7 anything sensitive. I don't believe I rm'd anything important.
8
9 I was happily/frustratingly trying to figure out why X7 doesn't work with my
10 'nvidia' driver. And was mildly relieved to get the 'nv' driver working so
11 at least I had a GUI.
12
13 I was all 'etc-update' caught up and current.
14
15 I decided to reboot to make sure everything was going to be good and no
16 surprises... Of course that was wishful thinking when it comes to Linux...
17
18 At some point in the bootup process towards the end, just after "Cleaning
19 /tmp directory" I start getting a few of these:
20
21 * Dependancy info is missing! Please run
22 * #/sbin/depscan.sh
23 * to fix this.
24
25 Well, of course I do run that script and it does absolutely nothing. No
26 output. No anything.
27
28 I can't get networking to work.
29 "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start" gives the same error, as does any other script
30 in that directory.
31
32 "ifconfig" just returns nothing.
33
34 Google for '"dependency info is missing" /sbin/depscan.sh' turns up nothing
35 useful.
36 And bugs.gentoo.org has 4 bugs for "/sbin/depscan.sh" but none seem right.
37
38 I tried "emerge --metadata" (I'm just wildly guessing at this point), to no
39 avail.

41 This forum suggested:

43 "touch /var/lib/init.d/softlevel" which I did. Again, pure failure.
44
45 Anyone else encounter this marvelous thorn in their side too or better yet,
46 have a solution?
