Hi folks, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've been updating my system recently (emerge -u world). I've stopped |
| 4 |
the update process with ctrl-c in order to turn the PC off. After |
| 5 |
relaunching in the middle of the runlevel 1, right after "configuring |
| 6 |
kernel parameters, updating environment , cleaning /var/lock, /var/run |
| 7 |
and /tmp", I've been informed that: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Dependency info is missing! Please run |
| 10 |
# /sbin/depscan.sh |
| 11 |
to fix this. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
To make the impression even bigger each line has got a red star in |
| 14 |
front of it. This error is displayed twice, than system is entering |
| 15 |
runlevel 3, displays the same message once more and allows me to log |
| 16 |
in: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
This is (none).unknown_domain (Linux i686 kernel version, etc.) |
| 19 |
(none) login: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I logged in as the root and gave depscan.sh a try. No output has been |
| 22 |
shown. I checked the output of '/sbin/depscan.sh --help' and |
| 23 |
accordingly to information given I tried: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
# /sbin/depscan.sh -u |
| 26 |
* Caching service dependencies ... |
| 27 |
sh: /bin/mktemp: No such file or dir |
| 28 |
* Failed to create temporary cache! |
| 29 |
bash: /var/lib/init.d/depcache: No such file or dir |
| 30 |
sh: /bin/mktemp: No such file or dir |
| 31 |
* Failed to create temporary cache! |
| 32 |
gawk: /lib/rcscripts/awk/gendepends.awk:506: fatal error: expression |
| 33 |
for redirection ">>" has a 0 lenght string |
| 34 |
* Failed to cache service dependencies |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The one but last line is displayed in Polish so what you can see above |
| 37 |
is my hope-it-is-verbatim translation into English. I've tried to |
| 38 |
'emerge mktemp' but I realised soon that I'm offline and I cannot |
| 39 |
'/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart' because I get the same error - |
| 40 |
"Dependency info is missing!". |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I've tried to google around and find a solution to this problem, but |
| 43 |
despite finding few quite similar problems I haven't found anything |
| 44 |
which would help me with this particular difficulty. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I would be very glad if you could support me' |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Best regards, |
| 49 |
