Bug 1059 – After update of baselayout-1.7.4 system will not boot anymore

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Avi Schwartz 2002-03-10 22:46:32 UTC]

There is a bug in depscan.sh.  It seems that the following block gets skipped:

#resolve provides
for x in $(dolisting ${svcdir}/provide/)

and $counter is not set therefore failing on the following line:

if [ "${counter}" -gt 1 ] && [ "${x##*/}" != "net" ]

To allow the system to boot I add to modify the code as follows (adding an
initialization of counter):

#resolve provides
counter=0
for x in $(dolisting ${svcdir}/provide/)

Fixed in 1.7.4-r1.
