Description mikepolniak 2002-02-17 14:56:47 UTC
whenever i run rc-update i get this error :
 * Caching service dependencies...
/etc/init.d/depscan.sh: command substitution: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for 
matching `''
/etc/init.d/depscan.sh: command substitution: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file      
                                                          [ ok ]
 * rc-update complete.

Looking in my init scripts (baselayout-1.7.1)   i did add a missing ' after the } in this line:

/etc/init.d/xdm: case "`echo $DISPLAYMANAGER | awk '{ print toupper($1) }'`" in

but i still get the same error message.

This is caused by some some syntax error in one of your scripts.  I'm forwarding
this to azarah to see if he can add some kind of generic functionality to track
down these problems easily rather than guessing.

Id like to say this will be resolved in the latest baselayout which should be
out in a few hours.
