Try baselayout-1.8.0, and let me know.
already using 1.8.0
I'm trying to track down this problem. The problem seems to belong to the check_rcscript() function in depscan.sh I've added a " (( ++kl )) && echo $kl $x" before line 196 to debug. 29 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 30 /etc/init.d/net.lo 31 /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 cat: write error: Broken pipe 32 /etc/init.d/netmount 33 /etc/init.d/nscd It always occurs with net.ppp0 If you remove net.ppp0 from /etc/init.d the problem disappear. I should look better those scripts to solve this problem. Hope this could help you (and prevent you from wasting time :)) Maurizio Disimino
Ok, this makes sense. It is prob something that is not within a function. Check if there is any call to cat outside a function .. I will be away for weekend in a few hours, so wont be able to check it out. Thanks.
Fine this side. Please include a copy of your net.ppp0 please.
Created attachment 2921 [details] net.ppp0 file my net.ppp0 file. I haven't modified it. btw .. this problem occurs only when depscan.sh is launched from an ebuild. (ie courier-imap or vmware-workstation) Maurizio Disimino.
Created attachment 2999 [details] /sbin/depscan.sh This version of depscan.sh should fix it. Basically was if some of the functions that use a '(cat $1) | read...' combination quit too early, you got a broken pipe. Test and let me know.
yeah :) works fine here. I've just tried with the vmware-workstation ebuild.
