When starting wired network interface with net scripts, it fails with error about busybox: # rc-service net.eth0 start * Bringing up interface eth0 * dhcp ... * Running udhcpc ... * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/bin/busybox' [ !! ] * ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start This is really misleading, while error is really about dhcp-client (possibly not found) or due to bad link (mine was a bad switch). Sorry if OpenRC was not correct category for this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Provide bad link to NIC 2. start net.eth0 ("rc-service net.eth0 start") Actual Results: * Bringing up interface eth0 * dhcp ... * Running udhcpc ... * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/bin/busybox' [ !! ] * ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start Expected Results: Error message should point users more to check their network connection and dhcp-client, instead of busybox, which is/can be working fine (probably busybox could be the reason also).
