Neither hotplug nor coldplug nor udev stable include /sbin/hotplug. This renders the whole hotplugging system (whether you call it coldplug or hotplug, or whatever) unfunctional Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge hotplug-20040923, hotplug-base-20040401, udev-045, coldplug-20040920 (all marked stable as of now) 2. reboot. Actual Results: About 20 times the following error message during start of coldplug: /etc/hotplug/pci.rc: line 41: /sbin/hotplug: No such file or directory And no reaction on device events of the system at all (which is no surprise). Expected Results: There should be a /sbin/hotplug script which calls udev and other user-configurable hotplug scripts. Hi there. I wonder if anyone ever tests this before marking it stable. Is this the way packages should be handled? I know, Gentoo development is voluntary, and I should not lament about other people's work. But why not leave it marked unstable as long as it obviously can't work? Am I missing something?
hotplug-base provides /sbin/hotplug is that not working for you?
Hello again. Problem solved ... I re-merged hotplug-base, and -- guess what -- /sbin/hotplug is there. I have no clue why it didn't exist, because emerge claimed hotplug-base to be installed, but ... I'm glad that the error was on my side ... I was kind of frustrated with hotplug under Gentoo, because the 20040401 version did not work for me, so I already had to go back to 20040105. Maybe the problem was caused by that. Anyway, sorry for my complaining and thank you for your help.
