Bug 163406 – Bad RC_RETRY_COUNT value in rc-daemon.sh

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Ivar Ylvisaker 2007-01-23 07:50:51 UTC]

The following error message has starting appearing when I shut my computer down:

/lib/rcscripts/sh/rc-daemon.sh: line 137: ((: TERM/5/TERM/5: division by 0 (error token is "/5")
Error stopping kdm

Similar errors are reported here:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-533562-highlight-rcdaemon.html
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-532961-highlight-rcdaemon.html

Here is line 137:

   137         for (( i=0; i<RC_RETRY_COUNT*10; i++ )); do

I did some investigating.  RC_RETRY_COUNT is initially set in rc-daemon.sh to 5.  However, after the following lines are executed, the value on my computer is "TERM/5/TERM/5".

     68                         -R|--retry)
     69                                 unset RC_RETRY_COUNT
     70                                 addvar="RC_RETRY_COUNT"
     71                                 ;;

The value is still set to "TERM/5/TERM/5" when line 137 is executed. The error is the result.

You need to upgrade to baselayout-1.12.9

I have the same issue, surely just upgrading to the testing version is not a valid fix???  Here's my emerge --info

You're using the "testing version" of xinit.
HINT - both are currently ~ARCH

[Comment 4 jcat 2007-01-23 10:22:23 UTC]

<EMBARRASSMENT>Ok, it's a fair cop.  I had overlooked that.</EMBARRASSMENT>

Hehehe...  ...I guess it's testing baselayout for me then!
