see bug 49101 and 48990 maybe not the same problem ... but the same symptoms * Caching service dependencies... * No scripts to process! /var/lib/init.d/depcache: /var/lib/init.d/depcache: No such file or directory look somehow familiar to me ... and no ... the numfiles-patch does not change anything on alpha arch: alpha gawk versions: 3.1.1-r2 tested => buggy 3.1.2-r3 tested => buggy 3.1.3 tested => buggy 3.1.3-r1 tested => buggy I am sure that 3.1.1 worked for me a while ago... Someone any ideas??? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
bug 49101 bug 48990
I've downgraded gcc to 3.3.2-r7 and rebuild gawk-3.1.3-r1 and it working again. Now I try to find out which is the last gcc-version that produces a working gawk on alpha.
gawk build with: gcc-3.3.2-r7 ok gcc-3.3.3 ok gcc-3.3.3-r4 fail gcc-3.3.3-r5 fail
I had this one crop up two days ago (on x86 btw). Booting was naturally borked through this. Quick analysis showed that in my case the affected version of /bin/awk linked to /usr/lib/libpcre* for some reason. (sys-apps/gawk-3.1.4-r2) But /usr is not mounted at the time /sbin/rc or depscan.sh call awk. A quick fix for me was to cp /usr/lib/libpcre* /lib This has been fixed yesterday though through sys-apps/gawk-3.1.4-r3 HTH
this problem seems to be solved it never reappeared after sys-apps/gawk-3.1.4-r3 but nobody closed the bug
