Bug 271541 – sys-devel/git: /etc/init.d/git-daemon looking for the librc at wrong place

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 270646

G' day

it seems like while librc (a part of openrc) has been moved from /lib into /usr/lib git-daemon doesn't address this issue, so in short with baselayout-2
git-daemon fail to startup silently and start-stop-daemon provide something
cryptic like 'fatal: cannot handle daemon internally'. 
IIUC this is because of --name parameter provided to start-stop-daemon by
init script i.e:
 
[ -e /lib/librc.so ] || BL1_COMPAT="--name git-daemon"

hmm... so if start-stop-daemon so sensible to 'name' let's provide a correct 
way to librc
