After adding vde at the default run level, the startup script yields an error because it wants to run /usr/bin/vde_pcapplug which does not exist. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge vde 2.rc-update add vde default 3.reboot Actual Results: start-stop-daemon: /usr/bin/vde_pcapplug does not exist Failed to start vde_pcapplug Error:

Please paste the output of 'emerge -pv vde' too (I guess it mentions USE=-pcap).
If I build with pcap, then vde_pcapplug is installed; if I build with -pcap, it is not installed. On my systems, however, vde_pcaplug is not referenced by the init scripts at all (and the init script starts in both places). Could you post your /etc/conf.d/vde?
You are right, it is built without the pcap use flag on my system. I guess that enabling the pcap use flag would then solve the issue. Below are the contents of /etc/conf.d/vde # load the tun module VDE_MODPROBE_TUN="no" # virtual tap networking device to be used for vde #VDE_TAP="tap0" VDE_TAP="eth0" # mode and group for the socket VDE_SOCK_CHMOD="770" VDE_SOCK_CHOWN=":kvm" # This is the actual options string passed to VDE. Change this at your own risk. VDE_PCAPPLUG_OPTS="${VDE_TAP} -daemon" VDE_SWITCH_OPTS="-daemon"
It's just strange that your system seems to want it with -pcap, but mine doesn't want it at all (even with +pcap). Could you post your /etc/init.d/vde as well?

Please try rebuilding the package. It seems that someone was lazy and forget to revbump the ebuild after modifying init.d scripts.
Rebuilding does not change the init script for me. # emerge -1 vde [...] # equery files vde * Searching for vde ... * Contents of net-misc/vde-2.3.1: /etc /etc/conf.d /etc/conf.d/vde /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/vde [...] After that, the contents of /etc/init.d/vde is as shown earlier.
what does ls -l /etc/init.d/ | grep vde produce? (init scripts are safeguarded against overwriting through config_protect) They might need to be upgraded with: update-etc or dispatch-conf (If there are new config changes then you have hidden files containing the name and a serial number.
I am running etc-update daily. etc-update did not capture that the file is outdated. This seems strange to me because so far I was relying that emerge and etc-update keep my system up-to-date. I was deleting /etc/init.d/vde and re-emerging vde, this resolved the issue. Do you have any idea why etc-update did not capture the configuration update? Thank you for helping me to resolve this issue.
(In reply to comment #9) > Do you have any idea why etc-update did not capture the > configuration update? Maybe you have rejected the update earlier? Not sure about etc-update but dispatch-conf is able to record previous actions and repeat them whenever the same file is installed.
