net-dialup/ppp-2.4.5-r3 (and I guess also earlier versions) installs two openrc/netifrc callback files /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/50-initd.sh /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/50-initd.sh These files should only be sourced/executed if openrc was used to start the machine (it gives at least strange error messages if e.g. the system was started with systemd or some other init system). Therefore, I suggest to guard these two files by adding if test -r /run/openrc/softlevel; then ... fi as the second or last line, respectively, which avoids sourcing/executing the callback if openrc is not active. (Note that a trivial "guard" like test -r /run/openrc/softlevel || exit 0 as the first line would *not* work, since the files are sourced, and so the "exit" would exit the sourcing shell which would prevent sourcing of later files in /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d) Maybe one should add a similar callback mechanism for systemd, but the systemd maintainers have to decide which mechanisms should be used on gentoo to mark whether/when net support is really available. The above issue can and should be fixed independently of such a decision.
