Created attachment 40457 [details] My /var/lib/init.d/depcache There is at least one unmacthed ( in the bottom. However this file must be autogenerated since correcting it has no effect-
Solved the problem. As I thought from the beginning, KDevelop had nothing to do with it. Instead the error occured after emerging hdparm. Afterward it said it had to merge some files in /etc/ (the normal procedure), so I used etc-update and tried to merge the files. However I stopped in the middle of this process which resulted in a /etc/inid.d/hdparm AND a /etc/inid.d/hdparm.merged file. All I had to do, was rm /etc/inid.d/hdparm.merged (after checking that /etc/inid.d/hdparm was the one I wanted). The lesson is: Never stop unexpectedly while mergin files, as this may result in two files.
