Tried to use dispatch-conf instead of etc-update, edited /etc/dispatch-conf.conf, said "yes" to using rcs (oops), created /etc/config-archive. Then: #dispatch-conf sh: line 1: ci: command not found sh: line 1: co: command not found sh: line 1: rcsmerge: command not found sh: line 1: rcs: command not found sh: line 1: ci: command not found sh: line 1: ci: command not found sh: line 1: co: command not found sh: line 1: rcsmerge: command not found sh: line 1: rcs: command not found sh: line 1: ci: command not found sh: line 1: ci: command not found sh: line 1: co: command not found sh: line 1: rcsmerge: command not found sh: line 1: rcs: command not found sh: line 1: ci: command not found sh: line 1: ci: command not found sh: line 1: co: command not found sh: line 1: rcsmerge: command not found sh: line 1: rcs: command not found sh: line 1: ci: command not found Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: All config files in /etc/ that should have been updated are instead "blanked", 0 bytes long. The configs are, however, in /etc/config-archive/etc/* Expected Results: 1. Check if rcs is installed. 2. Fail with error "Rcs not installed."
