Updateded to baselayout-1.11.7-r2 (same behaviour with baselayout-1.11.8), on next boot, net.* scripts failed (no interfaces active, and all depending scripts don't start) with: * iwconfig: missing required function interface_variable so I put this in /etc/init.d/net.lo interface_variable() { :; } and I get * dhcpcd: missing required function interface_device so I put interface_device() { :; } and I keep getting missing requied funciton interface_<something>. So instead, I put source /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions in net.lo, because it seems a lot of this "missing" functions are there. However then I get: * Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming dhcp * eth0 dhcp * Running dhcpcd ... [ ok ] * eth0 received address 172.16.0.52 * Adding routes * default gw 172.16.0.4 ... [ !! ] * 203.39.28.126 gw 172.16.0.7 ... [ ok ] * 147.66.40.208 gw 172.16.0.7 ... [ ok ] As you can see, even though it says "Configuration not set for eth0", it still manages to get the routes right, which come from the same file (/etc/conf.d/net) which looks like: ifconfig_eth0=( "172.16.0.52 broadcast 172.16.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" "10.1.0.52 broadcast 10.255.255.255 netmask 255.0.0.0" ) routes_eth0=( "default gw 172.16.0.4" "203.39.28.126 gw 172.16.0.7" "147.66.40.208 gw 172.16.0.7" ) which I haven't changed for ages. With baselayout 1.11.8, I get the same behaviour, except with the extra error: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/essidnet: line 18: installed: command not found The 'source' workaround only works because I have dhcp servers here, don't know what would happen otherwise! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge baselayout 1.11.7-r2, or 1.11.8 2. /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart # for example.

post your /etc/conf.d/net config file also, what does `ls -l /etc/init.d/net.*` show ?
/etc/conf.d/net is already in the OP verbatim. ifconfig_eth0 and routes_eth0 is all I've got in there. $ ls -l /etc/init.d/net.* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 16 22:31 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 -> net.lo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21558 Dec 17 13:28 /etc/init.d/net.lo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4414 Nov 29 11:19 /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 note, /etc/conf.d/net is a symlink to /etc/conf.d/net.work, but I tried it without the symlink and it does the same, so I don't think this has anything to do with it.
err, yeah, sorry i'm stupid and missed your config file :) i just got the essidnet error on one my machines with 1.11.8 ... after deleting the file, my net.eth0 worked fine
no worries :) I deleted (moved) /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/essidnet and now the 1.11.8 essidnet error is gone, but I still get the "missing required function" error...
Could you please ensure that net.lo gets updated by etc-update AND that your net.xxx in /etc/init.d/ is a symlink to net.lo Then the error should magically vanish

I used dispatch-conf to update my config files, and atm there are no ._cfg files in /etc/init.d/... Also: $ ls -al /etc/init.d/net.* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 16 22:31 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 -> net.lo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21558 Dec 18 10:52 /etc/init.d/net.lo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4414 Nov 29 11:19 /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 I just diffed my /etc/init.d/net.lo with the one in rc-scripts-1.6.8.tar.bz2, and there were _heaps_ of differences. So I copied the one from the archive, and guess what? It works!! No errors! I don't know how this one got passed dispatch-conf, as I usually update /etc/init.d/* without even looking... I wonder what else is out of date in there! Thanks for the help...
try `emerge baselayout --noconfmem` sounds like portage bug
After 'emerge --oneshot --noconfmem baselayout', it works for me
Wow. I ran `emerge --oneshot --noconfmem baselayout`, and these are the files with the versions I had, and the new versions waiting in their ._cfg files: /etc/init.d/._cfg0000_bootmisc 1.42 1.45 /etc/init.d/._cfg0000_clock 1.22 1.24 /etc/init.d/._cfg0000_domainname 1.7 1.8 /etc/init.d/._cfg0000_halt.sh 1.60 1.64.2.2 /etc/init.d/._cfg0000_hostname 1.21 1.22 /etc/init.d/._cfg0000_keymaps 1.25 1.26 /etc/init.d/._cfg0000_netmount 1.31 1.32 and of course net.lo which I updated manually from rc-scripts-1.6.8.tar.bz2 on saturday. To see if its dispatch-conf that's not updating the files properly, I ran it. Hmm, now I think I see my problem! dispatch-conf doesn't diff (for example) bootmisc and ._cfg0000_bootmisc, it creates an empty file called ._mrg0000_bootmisc and diffs that with bootmisc. I was seeing this empty fill and selecting 'zap new', because I didn't want to replace my init.d file with an empty one! But when you select 'zap new', it deletes the ._cfg file and the emtpy ._mrg file, which means I wasn't updating anything!! I tried 'next' instead of 'zap new' and now I have the original ._cfg file, as well as an empty ._mrg file, as well as the old cfg file. Is this intended behaviour? I couldn't find anything in the man pages or on google about ._mrg files. I assume they have something to do with the 'merge' option? I'm not pressing m instead of n by mistake!
Does this behavior happen with the latest stable dispatch-conf? Please re-open if so.
This bug still exists.
*** Bug 112148 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I stopped using it for a while, but it doesn't seem to happen with dispatch-conf as part of the currently ~x86: sys-apps/portage-2.1_pre7-r5 HTH :)
No problems since I found it working in portage-2.1_pre7-r5, so I'll close it.
