Hi folks, I've been updating my system recently (emerge -u world). I've stopped the update process with ctrl-c in order to turn the PC off. After relaunching in the middle of the runlevel 1, right after "configuring kernel parameters, updating environment , cleaning /var/lock, /var/run and /tmp", I've been informed that:
Dependency info is missing! Please run # /sbin/depscan.sh to fix this. To make the impression even bigger each line has got a red star in front of it. This error is displayed twice, than system is entering runlevel 3, displays the same message once more and allows me to log in: This is (none).unknown_domain (Linux i686 kernel version, etc.) (none) login: I logged in as the root and gave depscan.sh a try. No output has been shown. I checked the output of '/sbin/depscan.sh --help' and accordingly to information given I tried: # /sbin/depscan.sh -u * Caching service dependencies ... sh: /bin/mktemp: No such file or dir * Failed to create temporary cache! bash: /var/lib/init.d/depcache: No such file or dir sh: /bin/mktemp: No such file or dir * Failed to create temporary cache! gawk: /lib/rcscripts/awk/gendepends.awk:506: fatal error: expression for redirection ">>" has a 0 lenght string * Failed to cache service dependencies The one but last line is displayed in Polish so what you can see above is my hope-it-is-verbatim translation into English. I've tried to 'emerge mktemp' but I realised soon that I'm offline and I cannot '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart' because I get the same error - "Dependency info is missing!". I've tried to google around and find a solution to this problem, but despite finding few quite similar problems I haven't found anything which would help me with this particular difficulty. I would be very glad if you could support me' Best regards, Jan Stepien -- Mail jano at stepien com pl Jabber jano at jabber aster pl GG 1894343 Web http://stepien.com.pl -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
