I somehow - don't ask me why or how it got there - had a symlink /etc/init.d/init.d pointing to /etc/init.d. This causes depscan.sh to fail and screw up the boot process (starting nfs before portmapper, keeping the system sleeping in a half initialized state for several minutes). I took me about two month to find the problem. There were several posts in the Forum, which led me to a wrong direction. The Error Message: gawk: /lib/rcscripts/awk/cachedepends.awk:211: fatal: file `init.d' is a directory bash: /var/lib/init.d/depcache: No such file or directory Removing the link solved the problem, but a workaround in the cachedepends.awk would be nice :) Greeting, Majin Sniper
depscan.sh in svn makes sure that all links in /etc/init.d/ point to files
