After recently upgrading to lvm2-2.02.51 my system was unbootable because: 1. The lvm binaries got linked against libreadline.so.6 but only libreadline.so.5 was under /lib. Fixed this by a symlink. 2. The lvm init script failed to start because I was running openrc-0.2.5 and didn't have /etc/init.d/sysfs. Fixed by commenting out the failure. Just remerged latest readline and openrc - both problems should be fixed. It's wonderful that the Linux system at least fails to boot gracefully and I got a shell :)

Something was borked in your system then, where WAS the libreadline.so.6 then? If it was in /usr, something was REALLY wrong. Here's my location of it. * Contents of sys-libs/readline-6.0_p4: /lib64 /lib64/libhistory.so.6 -> libhistory.so.6.0 /lib64/libhistory.so.6.0 /lib64/libreadline.so.6 -> libreadline.so.6.0 /lib64/libreadline.so.6.0 > 2.

How is this for a potential RDEPEND: || ( =sys-apps/baselayout-1* >=sys-apps/openrc-0.4 ) Removing agk from the the bug, since it's not an upstream issue.
openrc dep stuff updated. Please respond re libreadline borkage on your system.

if you can reproduce libreadline installing the binary (not a symlink or linker redirect file) at /usr/lib*/libreadline*6*, then please open a new bug for that. Closing since the rest works.
