I'm using Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 on amd64. There are items in /bin, /sbin, and /lib that reference items in /usr. This can problematic for scripts that run at boot time. I'm trying to track down a problem in a boot script that I can't recreate when /usr is mounted, and I believe this might be a source of the problem. Even if it is not, it is not correct ro reference libraries from /usr in /bin, /lib, and /sbin. # pwd /lib # ls -l | grep /usr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 13 13:37 libacl.a -> /usr/lib/libacl.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 13 13:37 libacl.la -> /usr/lib/libacl.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 13 13:37 libattr.a -> /usr/lib/libattr.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar 13 13:37 libattr.la -> /usr/lib/libattr.la # pwd /sbin # ldd * | grep /usr libmng.so.1 => /usr/lib/libmng.so.1 (0x0000002a9566a000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x0000002a95c9f000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x0000002a9566a000) libldap.so.2 => /usr/lib/libldap.so.2 (0x0000002a959b7000) liblber.so.2 => /usr/lib/liblber.so.2 (0x0000002a95aec000) libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0x0000002a95f47000) libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0x0000002a9605d000) libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0x0000002a96193000) libwrap.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwrap.so.0 (0x0000002a9566a000) # pwd /bin # ldd * | grep /usr libattr.so.1 => /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x0000002a95770000) libattr.so.1 => /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x0000002a95c55000) libcrack.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrack.so.2 (0x0000002a9579d000) libattr.so.1 => /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x0000002a95770000) libattr.so.1 => /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x0000002a95c55000) libattr.so.1 => /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x0000002a95770000) libcrack.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrack.so.2 (0x0000002a9579d000) libattr.so.1 => /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x0000002a95c55000)
After copying the missing libraries via "cp $(ldd /bin/* /sbin/* | grep /usr | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u) /lib" my boot script problems went away. I was getting a "Failed to calculate module dependencies" error, and nothing I did was fixing it, until I tracked it down to a library problem. This a serious problem, so I'm upping the severity and priority.
wow, that's terrible with the attr and acl stuff -- I'm very very sorry -- I'll fix this asap

Please POST your USE flags. If you have USE="acl" then you can expect libacl to be there. If you have USE="ssl" then you can expect things in lib to be linked to things in /usr/lib to be there. Can we try this with USE="-*" and work our way back from that please?
I thinks my logic is very wrong. Will get some sleep and work this out properly. Good idea with the USE assignment solar.

ok, that shows us that we got *something* in /{bin,lib} linking with /usr, but you didnt show us *what*

cracklib is fixed now. libcrack.so* is placed into /lib.
dunno about you guys but i think it'd be safe to say we can move fbmngplay and fbtruetype into /usr/sbin/
vapier: i don't use fb on any machine, so it's really no water off my back.
/sbin/ksymoops: sys-kernel/ksymoops (plasmaroo@gentoo.org ,x86-kernel@gentoo.org) libbfd-2.14.90.0.7.so => /usr/lib/libbfd-2.14.90.0.7.so (0x4001e000) /sbin/mkfs.cramfs: (base-system) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4001e000) /sbin/fsck.cramfs: (base-system) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4001e000) should check /lib too - mine turned up clean though.
Apologies to parties erroneously added.
zlib is already in /lib /sbin/ksymoops should probably move to /usr/sbin i don't see much need for it on a minimal system libbfd is large and I don't think it should go on the root fs anyway.
about fbmng: its used for the animations shown in bootsplash, I think that putting libmng and its deps in /lib is too much and too far, so this should probably be handed off to the bootsplash related folks
plasmaroo: could ksymoops be installed in /usr/sbin instead of /sbin ?
Done, ksymoops moved to /usr/bin.
is there anything left to fix here?
I do think we can leave some this stuff, as it's now unlikely that you won't have /usr available for some of these, and the overhead of moving the libraries into /lib is getting too large anyway. The NUT stuff could move into /usr and likewise for arpd. /sbin/fbmngplay: media-gfx/bootsplash libmng.so.1 => /usr/lib/libmng.so.1 (0xb7f7b000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0xb7e02000) /sbin/fbtruetype: media-gfx/bootsplash libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x415e1000) /sbin/arpd: sys-apps/iproute2 libdb-4.2.so => /usr/lib/libdb-4.2.so (0xb7f05000) /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so: net-fs/samba libcrypt.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb7ef7000) libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2 (0xb7ee3000) libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1 (0xb7ecc000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7ec8000) /lib/libnss_ldap-2.3.2.so: net-libs/nss_ldap libldap.so.2 => /usr/lib/libldap.so.2 (0xb1e23000) liblber.so.2 => /usr/lib/liblber.so.2 (0xb3f15000) libdb-4.1.so => /usr/lib/libdb-4.1.so (0xb7f15000) /lib/nut/newhidups: www-apps/nut libusb-0.1.so.4 => /usr/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4 (0xb7fcf000) /lib/nut/snmp-ups: www-apps/nut libnetsnmp.so.5 => /usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so.5 (0xb7f30000) libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0xb7e36000) libelf.so.1 => /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 (0xb7e24000)
we've already covered bootsplash ... it cant move :P also, i'm pretty sure the pam stuff has to stay in /lib/security/
nut and iproute2's arpd are fixed. I think we can close this now, as there is nothing else (on my systems at least) that can be moved out of the root filesystem.
