Description Wolfgang Frisch 2006-07-21 12:33:40 UTC
When for some reason the init.d dependency infos (/var/lib/init.d/deptree) gets lost, every init.d-script advices the user to run this:

 * Dependency info is missing!  Please run
 *   # /sbin/depscan.sh
 * to fix this.

Though in some situation, /sbin/depscan.sh -u (force update) is necessary to rebuild the dependency tree. As in my opinion "-u" can't hurt, the error message should say:

 * Dependency info is missing!  Please run
 *   # /sbin/depscan.sh -u
 * to fix this.

-u is misleading itself ... should be -f,--force
Comment 2 Roy Marples (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-10 12:30:24 UTC
TThis should be fixed in baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11. Re-open if you disagree.

Basically we have better detection if the deptree is there, broken or needs to be updated.
