Bug 53374 – New noip-updater-2.1.1 fails when trying to invoke the /etc/init.d/noip start (script)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Joshua Banks 2004-06-08 20:55:45 UTC]

This is what I see when I am emerging the noip-updater pkg.

* Configuration can be done manually via:
 * /usr/sbin/noip2 -C or
 * first time you use the /etc/init.d/noip script; or
 * by using this ebuild's config option.
 *
 * You must update the /etc/init.d/noip script, the
 * binary name and the command line options have
 * changed.
 * Caching service dependencies...
>>> net-dns/noip-updater-2.1.1 merged.

Ok Great.. This is what I did:

root@fusion jj # rc-update add noip default
 * noip added to runlevel default
 * Caching service dependencies...
 * rc-update complete.
root@fusion jj # /etc/init.d/noip start
 * Answer the following questions about your no-ip account.
 
Auto configuration for Linux client of no-ip.com.
 
Can't create config file (/usr/etc/no-ip2.conf)
No such file or directory
Re-run noip, adding '-c configfilename' as a parameter.

I just installed the older client the other day and it worked flawlessly. Today the new client wants me to create a directory that I shouldn't need too. I mean its saying it can't CREATE file /usr/etc/no-ip2.conf. Well ofcourse.. /usr/etc doesn't exist. Plus.. no where in the init.d noip start script is "/usr/etc" referenced. It references /etc/no-ip2.conf which is where the file was created when I installed the noip-updater-2.0.12 the other day.

The only thing that I recall is removeing the old client from the default run level via "rc-update del noip default", stopping the noip service via "/etc/init.d/noip stop" and then removing the "no-ip2.conf" file in /etc. Ran "emerge -C net-dns/noip-updater" Rebooted and today tried to install the newest noip-updater-2.1.1 and thats where I'm at.

As a workaround I tried to install the old client "noip-updater-2.0.12" and wouldn't let me.. I get this:

root@fusion etc # emerge net-dns/noip-updater-2.0.12
Calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in net-dns/noip-updater-2.0.12 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (net-dns/noip-updater-2.0.12) (try adding an '=')"

I have no idea what I'm doing so I conceed at this point. Thank you for any help.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove noip from default run level
2. emerge -C net-dns/noip-updater-2.1.1
3. Reboot and remerge

Actual Results:  
Same events described above.

Expected Results:  
From my understanding after running "/etc/init.d/noip start" this should of ran
a script asking me for my no-ip.com info. Email address and password. After that
it should've started the noip service and created a datafile in /etc called
no-ip2.conf.

Joshua, thanks for catching this -- please expect 2.1.1-r1 in your next portage sync, which should fix this issue.

Sweet. Thanks for the response. I'll sync up now.
