Why is there always something breaking? |

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. |

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. |

"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? |
