Bug 104619 – baselayout-1.12.0_pre8 breaks `shutdown -h now` and `reboot`

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-09-02 09:52:43 UTC]

After upgrading to sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre8 my laptop no longer
automatically powers off after `shutdown -h now` nor does it reboot after
`reboot`. Instead, the message "INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel"
appears - and the system just sits there.

Downgrading to sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre6-r3 (the version from which I
upgraded in the first place) fixes these issues.

Changing the interpreter of /sbin/rc from /sbin/runscript to /bin/bash as
adviced by az in #gentoo-dev fixed this issue.

[Comment 3 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-09-02 13:42:51 UTC]

With /sbin/runscript as interpreter, $BASH gets set to /usr/bin/runscript, which
is unavailable after umounting local filesystems (since /usr is on a separate
partition).

`equery b /usr/bin/runscript`
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/runscript in *... ]
net-dialup/minicom-2.1-r1 (/usr/bin/runscript)

Hmmm...

baselayout-1.12.0_pre8-r1 fixes the value of $BASH, but `shutdown` and `reboot`
still doesn't work as expected.

What does work, is commenting out (removing) LANG from
/etc/conf.d/env_whitelist. Thanks to azarah for his help on IRC.

[Comment 6 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2005-09-07 04:44:36 UTC]

Fixed with baselayout-1.12.0_pre8-r2.

Confirmed. Thanks :)
