Bug 77263 – Network rc scripts failing on boot

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 73607
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Reardon 2005-01-09 12:32:29 UTC]

I've recently ran an update after a couple months of not updating at all, and then rebooted the server once all updates were finished.  However when the system tried to come back up, I get the following error message whenever any network related rc script runs:

boeing ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
 * Starting eth0
/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/essidnet: line 18: installed: command not found
 *          essidnet: missing required function interface_variable
                                                                          [ !! ]


I've tried to find the installed command on some other gentoo machines I have accounts on, but have not been able to find it.  Also, none of my other machines seem to have an /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d directory either, so I'm not really sure how to proceed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
 * Starting eth0
/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/essidnet: line 18: installed: command not found
 *          essidnet: missing required function interface_variable
                                                                          [ !! ]


Expected Results:  
Initialized eth0

This is NOT an infrastructure bug, correcting product and component and reassigning to base-system.

already been fixed in cvs ...

please search bugzilla properly in future:
a search for 'ALL essidnet' shows you this has been solved long since.
