This is what I see when I am emerging the noip-updater pkg. * Configuration can be done manually via: * /usr/sbin/noip2 -C or * first time you use the /etc/init.d/noip script; or * by using this ebuild's config option. * * You must update the /etc/init.d/noip script, the * binary name and the command line options have * changed. * Caching service dependencies... >>> net-dns/noip-updater-2.1.1 merged. Ok Great.. This is what I did: root@fusion jj # rc-update add noip default * noip added to runlevel default * Caching service dependencies... * rc-update complete. root@fusion jj # /etc/init.d/noip start * Answer the following questions about your no-ip account. Auto configuration for Linux client of no-ip.com. Can't create config file (/usr/etc/no-ip2.conf) No such file or directory Re-run noip, adding '-c configfilename' as a parameter. I just installed the older client the other day and it worked flawlessly. Today the new client wants me to create a directory that I shouldn't need too. I mean its saying it can't CREATE file /usr/etc/no-ip2.conf. Well ofcourse.. /usr/etc doesn't exist. Plus.. no where in the init.d noip start script is "/usr/etc" referenced. It references /etc/no-ip2.conf which is where the file was created when I installed the noip-updater-2.0.12 the other day. The only thing that I recall is removeing the old client from the default run level via "rc-update del noip default", stopping the noip service via "/etc/init.d/noip stop" and then removing the "no-ip2.conf" file in /etc. Ran "emerge -C net-dns/noip-updater" Rebooted and today tried to install the newest noip-updater-2.1.1 and thats where I'm at. As a workaround I tried to install the old client "noip-updater-2.0.12" and wouldn't let me.. I get this: root@fusion etc # emerge net-dns/noip-updater-2.0.12 Calculating dependencies !!! Problem in net-dns/noip-updater-2.0.12 dependencies. !!! "Specific key requires an operator (net-dns/noip-updater-2.0.12) (try adding an '=')" I have no idea what I'm doing so I conceed at this point. Thank you for any help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove noip from default run level 2. emerge -C net-dns/noip-updater-2.1.1 3. Reboot and remerge Actual Results: Same events described above. Expected Results: From my understanding after running "/etc/init.d/noip start" this should of ran a script asking me for my no-ip.com info. Email address and password. After that it should've started the noip service and created a datafile in /etc called no-ip2.conf.

Joshua, thanks for catching this -- please expect 2.1.1-r1 in your next portage sync, which should fix this issue.
Sweet. Thanks for the response. I'll sync up now.
