this just happened this morning when i booted my system.. i get a string of failed to calculate dep messeges as each off the init processes is started and a messege to run #/sbin/depscan.sh to correct the problem... running that as root results in this. JaiBaba root # /sbin/depscan.sh * Caching service dependencies... bash: line 3404: syntax error near unexpected token `(' bash: line 3404: ` ELF l�4�.4 ("44�4��������������hx44�4���� /lib/ld-linux.so.2GNU' * Can't find service 'checkroot' needed by 'crypto-loop'; continuing... xtermxtermxterm * Can't find service 'modules' needed by 'crypto-loop'; continuing... [ ok ] JaiBaba root # xtermxtermxterm i have no clue as to what caused this.... there were no major updates to world ... emerge log lists things like gaim gnomeprint and gnomeprintui... just normal pkgs no system stuff.... these error messeges do not seem to effect the system itself... i am in it now and have been all day but rather the just reinstalling gentoo i would like to know what happened since this would seem to indicate some problem that could pop up possibly for anyone. i have run a file system check and done a revdep-rebuild.. no errors were found , emerged baselayout again... i am unsure what to do next... help Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot the system 2.run /sbin/depscan.sh 3.
just some -v info and a comment... i emerged -e system with no luck ... emerge finishes but the problem still remains . the new baselayout released yesterday didnt help... did find a thread in the forums that suggests similar troubles happening to others... http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=72778&highlight=depscan my system information Portage 2.0.49-r18 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.4.23-gss) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.23-gss i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.12 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" ARCH="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" BASH_ENV="/etc/portage/bashrc" CC="gcc" CCACHE_SIZE="4G" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CLASSPATH="/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/rt.jar:."

please try this: file /etc/init.d/* you should only see: a /sbin/runscript script text executable ASCII English text symbolic link to `../../sbin/<SOME FILE>' if you see anything else (like binary files) please post the filenames of those files and the package that owns them (`qpkg -v -f /etc/init.d/FILE`)
well i think from what you stated that this would be normal output...but here it is anyway.

it is mostly normal, but like i said there is one that is wrong: /etc/init.d/synclient: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped what does `qpkg -v -f /etc/init.d/synclient` show ?
mmm qpkg -v -f /etc/init.d/synclient doesnt return anything
well then do you have any idea how it got there ? ;) cause it shouldnt be there
well i have no idea... something in portage i would guess since i never added any files to init.d myself... have you seen that file before?
nope :) just rm that file and the bug will go away if you happen to find out what package put that there could you please post ? :)
well that did take care of half the problem.... but i still recieve an error at boot from every item in /etc/init.d ... cant get dependency info on <whatever>! run /sbin/depscan.sh to fix this.... and if i emerge a pkg i get this as it finishes >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies... bash: line 3455: syntax error: unexpected end of file * Can't find service 'checkroot' needed by 'crypto-loop'; continuing... * Can't find service 'modules' needed by 'crypto-loop'; continuing...

well that part we'll let az take a stab at
ok .... i appreciate all the help... this post is similar though i didnt experience a power failure. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=103042&highlight=depscan

az not to be a pest and i know you're very busy but might there be a fix for this or should i just reinstall? ciao
thanks to seemant this is fixed... it was a cupsd.merged file in /etc/init.d that created all that output.. sorry for the trouble.
