I just did an (almost) successful clean install of 5.1. All 300-some
packages installed *except* for initscripts. So I got the latest rpm
from the errata page, and it also fails with the same errors:
root /mnt/zip/errata>> rpm -Uvh --force initscripts-3.65-2.i386.rpm
initscripts
##################################################
error reading information on service random: No such file or directory
error reading information on service nfsfs: No such file or directory
error reading information on service network: No such file or directory
execution of script failed
error: initscripts-3.65-2.i386.rpm cannot be installed
I also upgraded glint from the errata, thinking this might have some
bearing. No effect. What am I missing? This is a pretty important
package- how can I fix this? Can I simply copy the entire /etc/rc.d
directory tree from a backup of 5.0? Or is there more to it? The
system is functional, but a lot of important services are missing.
Plus, I can't shutdown/reboot cleanly. Please advise! Thanks in
advance for any clues...
