• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

Attempting to start supervisord via `/etc/init.d/supervisord start` yields:

    # /etc/init.d/supervisord start

Reproducible: Always

This might be related to the older version of openrc on the box I tested on.

It currently has openrc version sys-apps/openrc-0.9.8.4:0

I'm upgrading system and will report back if it fixes the startup problem.

I can confirm that after upgrading from sys-apps/openrc-0.9.8.4:0 to sys-apps/openrc-0.12.4:0 the problem no longer occurs.

I'll leave it up to you whether this should be still treated as a bug or not.  I'm not sure what's gentoo's stance is on init script system dependencies.

[Comment 3 Thomas Capricelli 2016-01-22 19:32:23 UTC]

The problem seems solved with recent openrc, and anyway supervisor-3.0 is very old, not in portage anymore.
