Bug 493736 – =sys-apps/openrc-0.12.4 with separate /usr (without initramfs): /lib64/rc/sh/tmpfiles.sh: line 237: uniq: command not found

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Tomáš Mózes 2013-12-09 09:15:37 UTC]

Systems not using an initramfs with separate /usr with sys-apps/openrc-0.12.4 observe the following during booting:

* setting up tmpfiles.d entries for /dev ...
/lib64/rc/sh/tmpfiles.sh: line 237: uniq: command not found 

line 237:
tmpfiles_basenames="`printf "${tmpfiles_basenames}\n" | sort | uniq`"

As suggested in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-972132.html, it would be possible to alter that to:
tmpfiles_basenames="`printf "${tmpfiles_basenames}\n" | sort -u`"

I know that since 01-Nov-2013, these systems are not supported, but this would just lower the number of processes in the pipeline.

Actually we shouldn't be using backticks at all, but $( ... ), so I will
fix this.

This is fixed in commit 09733d3.
Thanks for the report.
This is a good example of why bugs like this should be reported. If
there is a fix that can be done, it will be.

[Comment 3 William Hubbs 2013-12-11 05:00:28 UTC]

This will be included in OpenRC-0.13.
