I didn't see a response from this bug report when I sent it to the users list, so I thought I would forward it to the dev list in case I sent it to the wrong list. Any comments on whether this will be fixed in 2.3? Right now, we are running with 2.1, but we will be rolling out 2.3 when it is released. I'm trying to submit all of our spec files and bugs that we have come across in hopes they will be addressed in the 2.3 release. Thanks.

We originally found that when we would execute openpkg rc eval, we would get strange errors. We discovered through tracing the process out originally on our solaris systems and found that the openpkg rc got confused somehow and was calling the rpm package rc, which is the Plan9 shell. We resolved this problem on our own by removing and no longer installing the rc rpm. We now have found that we are having a similar confusion problem coming from openpkg rc eval on our RHEL3 linux systems. It is specifically related to linux now since we don't install the rc rpm, however RHEL3 linux using the /etc/rc system to do it's own initialization. Somehow openpkg rc is confusing it's own rc call with the /etc/rc under RHEL3 and we are having errors spawn do to this. A specific effect of this problem is that none of the services we run respond to an openpkg rc restart. To work around this problem we have been doing a stop, then a start manually. We're not quite sure how openpkg rc is getting confused with the other rc's, but perhaps openpkg rc should have some sort of hard set full path to the openpkg rc bit itself? Thus it wouldn't get confused like this? Anyway, we wanted to let you know about this one as well. Thanks. -- David M. Fetter - UNIX Systems Administrator Portland State University - www.oit.pdx.edu
