Bug 23328 – "Could not get dependency" starting named

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 22959
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Joe Eversole 2003-06-23 09:19:58 UTC]

I emerged bind into my system. I configured it accordingly. When starting named
using the init script, I get "Could not get dependency info for "named"!" and
the service starts. When I try to stop the service, I get !!'s (and that's
covered in Bug 22959.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge bind
2. configure bind
3. execute "/etc/init.d/named start"


Actual Results:  
See error message about dependencies as above

Expected Results:  
Started without any error messages.

I have this problem on virtually EVERY script I have got!!! 
I could not track the source of the message (I tried grepping for the msg in /etc, /bin 
and /sbin). 
Please somebody fix this soon!! :(

Ok, problem solved. In my case, my gawk installation got really f**k'd up and 
"/lib/rcscripts/filefuncs.so" got deleted somehow. Possibly by the very same 
baselayout ebuild, since gawk worked fine till I emerged it. 
Re-emerging gawk was the workaround. All's well that ends well.
