I created [this](https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/26299) PR to standardize the `epmd` to people who don't use `net.*` files. I began receiving the error ``Service `epmd' needs non existent service `net.lo'`` whenever I run `rc-service bluetooth restart` (in other words when the cache reloads). I don't really know how pushing to Gentoo works, so I opened a bug here just in case.
Wow, that's a bit gross. Nice find!
Thanks Sam! I'm really happy to help this community and learn new things :D

Hi. The fix breaks the ability to start epmd in docker containers because loopback will fail to start however net.lo will not fail to start. The underlying cause is probably that the use of need is too strong. The service should be able to start even if loopback fails.
Hey Tom, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm no expert but I'll get working into this right now
