Description Greg 2002-07-13 11:28:15 UTC

I am trying to create a new ebuild. My computer has rc-update from   
baselayout-1.7.9-r1. I find that when I try to call rc-update from within the   
ebuild, I get the error "cat: write error: Broken pipe" even though rc-update   
appears to otherwise succeed. (This may have something to do with config-file   
protection? A problem in depscan.sh)   
   
Here is what I get:   
 * venus.init added to runlevel default...   
 * Caching service dependencies...   
cat: write error: Broken pipe   
cat: write error: Broken pipe   
cat: write error: Broken pipe                                [ ok ]   
 * rc-update complete.   
   
Also, should I be calling rc-update or should I leave it to the user to figure   
that out?

Err, I fixed this somewhere, but cannot remember when.  It test fine with
baselayout-1.8.5 anyhow.
