Reproducable: always Steps to reproduce: execute "emerge net-misc/cbqinit" then attempt "/etc/init.d/cbqinit start". Note, this is not related to Bug 48542 - that bug was a problematic ebuild dependency. This is an issue with the script/program itself. It is, however, the same problem as Bug 21014 which was closed with status RESOLVED FIXED back in June 2003. The same problem is happening again so I file a new bug for it since I was unable to re-open the old bug. Cbqinit fails to start: ------- # /etc/init.d/cbqinit start * Starting cbqinit ... **CBQ: ip-route2 utilities not installed or executable! [ !! ] * ERROR: cbqinit failed to start ------- When you install sys-apps/iproute2 package, the standard location of the 'ip' program is /bin/ip. However, the script /usr/sbin/cbqinit mistakenly expects 'ip to be located in /sbin. Line 478 of this script reads: IP=/sbin/ip The script successfully starts when this line is changed to match Gentoo's default location of the 'ip' program: IP=/bin/ip When this change is made, cbqinit starts successfully (some whitespace removed from output for readability): # /etc/init.d/cbqinit start * Starting cbqinit ... [ok] # The problem is, if net-misc/cbqinit is ever updated or reinstalled for any reason, then you get the default behavior and it once again fails to start. Removing the one character from the /usr/sbin/cbqinit script as provided by Gentoo would fix it permanently. ---- Output of "emerge --info": Portage 2.3.0_rc1 (python 3.4.3-final-0,

Do you need this package or were you just doing general testing? If it's not actually needed, we could consider removing this since it unmaintained and upstream is dead and no other distro carries it.
I actually do use it. I run a personal (SFTP) fileserver on my home machine, so I can get to my files when I'm out and about. I use cbqinit to limit the upstream bandwidth of that server. Without a limit, a remote download from my fileserver will fully saturate the upstream bandwidth of that connection, rendering it useless for others in the house. Cbqinit has been a simple, convenient way to arrange that since openssh doesn't natively support bandwidth limitations. Most other traffic-shaping options I've looked into were overkill for my needs. Having said that, if you can recommend a good alternative, I'll gladly consider it. If not, it seems a very simple patch can be supplied with the ebuild to correct this issue, the same way several other packages automatically apply patches when emerged. It's only one line that needs to be changed.
