Today I spoted in my logs something odd, the lxc 'error message' from rc and dnsmasq init scripts, like example below Feb 23 23:04:05 [rc] ln -s lxc /etc/init.d/lxc.container Feb 24 13:05:27 [/etc/init.d/dnsmasq] ln -s lxc /etc/init.d/lxc.container The problem is that lxc init script run safe checks in depend function, the function supposed to be used only by openrc for need/after/before etc. There is also code like [ $CONTAINER != $SVCNAME ] && CONFIGFILE=${CONFIGFILE:-$(lxc_get_configfile)} which will be also executed every time deps cache is rebuild, not cool. I can produce a fixes to the init script after this weekend, if no body fix it until then. Reproducible: Always
