Created attachment 487778 [details] emerge --info There are six instances of "eeror" instead of "eerror" in /etc/init.d/boinc. No wonder I wasn't getting any indication of what's wrong with my installation! $ grep -rw eeror /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/boinc: eeror "Directory ${RUNTIMEDIR} could not be created!" /etc/init.d/boinc: eeror "Changing ownership of '${RUNTIMEDIR}' to '${USER}:${GROUP}' failed!" /etc/init.d/boinc: eeror "Symlinking '${sslcrt}' failed!" /etc/init.d/boinc: eeror "Removing '${tgt}' failed!" /etc/init.d/boinc: eeror "Symlinking '${src}' to '${tgt}' failed!" $ grep -w eerror /etc/init.d/boinc eerror "'${sslcrt}' does not exist!" eerror "No boinc_client found!" eerror "No boinccmd program found!" This is the same on two systems.
I'll fix that, thank you for the information. ...but it is strange that nobody (including me) stumbled over this earlier...
