I just built a new Gentoo 1.4-rc1 system and chose metalog at first. It worked but I did not like metalog so I thought I would try sysklogd instead. I tried to remove metalog from my /etc/runlevels setup using:- rc-update del metalog and it said it had removed it. I them emerged sysklogd and did:- rc-update add sysklogd boot which gave me a warning about having more than one logging service (sorry I can't find the exact words, but other people have reported the message on the forums). This message persisted on a re-boot and seemed impossible to remove with rc-update. In the end I did manage to get rid of the warning message by unmerging metalog and removing absolutely every trace that I could find of metalog from /etc and /mnt/.init.d. It took several attempts to get it to go because it just kept on coming back - all the files kept re-appearing in /mnt/init.d; most odd. I am sure there must be a bug in rc-update as it was impossible to change loggers simply by using this script.
Due to CONFIG_PROTECT, the rc-script will still be in /etc/init.d/. Please delete it, then run 'depscan.sh'.
Ok, so whats up with reassigning my bugs ?
