During a restart of dovecot, I received this message. I do notice it quite often when deps are looked at again.. # rc-service dovecot restart * Caching service dependencies ... /lib/rc/sh/rc-functions.sh: line 117: shell_var: command not found [ ok ] * Stopping dovecot ... [ ok ] * Starting dovecot ... [ ok ]
Found a local script that redefined PATH in global scope (via strace) Removing it solved the issue.
