Description Stefan Lucke 2007-03-14 19:00:45 UTC
After emerge --update world (partially done) I can neither boot correct nor shutdown, reset button has to be pushed.
Messages are (example from /etc/init.d/keymap start):
 * Dependency info is missing!  Please run
 *   # /sbin/depscan.sh
 * to fix this.

Doing so doesn't change anything. /sbin/depscan.sh -u does not work either:
 * Caching service dependencies ...
sh: /bin/mktemp: No such file or directory
 * Failed to create temporary cache!
bash: /var/lib/init.d/depcache: No such file or directory
sh: /bin/mktemp: No such file or directory
 * Failed to create temporary cache!
gawk: /lib/rcscripts/awk/gendepends.awk:506: fatal: expression for `>>' redirection has null string value
 * Failed to cache service dependencies                                                                           [ !! ]

Obviously mktemp is not available:
[ Results for search key : mktemp ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]

*  sys-apps/mktemp

      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]

      Description:   allow safe temporary file creation from shell scripts.

Luckily I've a second system installed so I can file this bug report.

Reproducible: Always




And finally the output of emerge --info:
