Description Dirk Sondermann 2013-07-27 09:53:34 UTC

Created attachment 354296 [details, diff]
patch against openrc-0.11.8

When tmpfiles.sh is invoked by /etc/init.d/tmpfiles.setup and tries to create the device nodes requested by kmod (see bug 477856), it signals an error if some nodes already exist.

The reason for this error is that the functions _c and _d in tmpfiles.sh return the non-zero exit status of [ ! -e "$path" ] if the given path exists.

This problem may be avoided by replacing
   [ ! -e "$path" ] && ...
with
   if [ ! -e "$path" ]; then ...; fi
