Description Narada Sage 2003-06-30 08:08:45 UTC

When init scripts are started for various applications  an error such as below
appears.

* Could not get dependency info for "packagename"!

Examples are:

$ /etc/init.d/dancer-ircd start 
 * Could not get dependency info for "dancer-ircd"!
 * Could not get dependency info for "dancer-ircd"!
 * Starting dancer-ircd...                                                [ ok ]

$ /etc/init.d/tomcat start
 * Could not get dependency info for "tomcat"!
 * Could not get dependency info for "tomcat"!
 * Starting Tomcat...                                                      [ ok ]

$ /etc/init.d/distccd start 
 * Could not get dependency info for "distccd"!
 * Could not get dependency info for "distccd"!
 * Starting distccd...                                                       [ ok ]

What exactly is going on here and how can this be resolved?  When running in a
server environment these errors are quite concerning.  The new baselayout
(1.8.6.8-r1) may be responsible for these errors which have been reproduced on
two machines on x86.  They did not occur on old baselayout.  However, they do
not occur on machines using new baselayout but using remaining packages from
testing tree (i,e, ~x86 machines).

Please take a look at this problem and provide feedback.  Many thanks.
