you've got an error in one of your scripts or config files run `depscan.sh -d` and post the output as a log file to try and find out what file is screwed up
Created attachment 139750 [details] Output of depscan.sh -d Apparently, the script exits without error code.
then use the -u flag as well
Created attachment 139786 [details] Output of depscan.sh -d -u You might want to have a look at the relevant piece of code at line 1503 of /var/lib/init.d/depcache: echo "MTIME 1198398712" ( # Get settings for rc-script ... [ -e /etc/conf.d/net ] && \ [ "${SVCNAME%%.*}" = "net" ] && \ [ "${SVCNAME#*.}" != "${SVCNAME}" ] && source /etc/conf.d/net [ -e "/etc/conf.d/${SVCNAME}" ] && source "/etc/conf.d/${SVCNAME}" [ -e /etc/rc.conf ] && source /etc/rc.conf depend() { return 0 } # Actual depend() function ... return 0 depend() {} depend for x in ${RC_NEED} ; do need "${x}" done for x in ${RC_USE} ; do use "${x}" done ) ----cut here---- It appears that "depend() {}" is no legal shell code.
you snipped out the important part ... above the "echo mtime" line, there are 4 lines of code which will tell you which script is screwing up post those 4 lines or post your entire depcache as an attachment

Thx. Forget it. My fault. Can't program.
