I did some package updates on my machine, installed syslog-ng, removed metalog, removed the metalog init script from the default runlevel and now I am getting errors during INIT.
Here are the errors during the boot: /sbin/rc: line 21: retval: command not found ... * Caching service dependencies... * Service 'metalog' already provide 'logger'!; * Not adding service 'syslog-ng'... [ ok ] ... * Starting metalog... start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/sbin/metalog: No such file or directory * Failed to start metalog [ !! ] * ERROR: Problem starting needed services. * "atd" was not started. ... * Starting syslog-ng... [ ok ] * ERROR: Problem starting needed services. * "vcron" was not started. ----- Why the problem with /sbin/rc? Do I need to reinstall baselayout like I did last time to get rid of error messages with '/sbin/runscript.sh'? During the caching of service dependencies, why is it reporting metalog already provides logger? I removed the package and the init script from all runlevels. Running 'rc-update del metalog' again just produces the error 'metalog not found in any of the specified runlevels.' Here is what rc-status shows: Runlevel: default acpid [ started ] alsasound [ started ] atd [ off ] cupsd [ started ] distccd [ started ] fam [ started ] gpm [ started ] hotplug [ started ] keymaps [ started ] local [ started ] mysql [ started ] mythbackend [ started ] net.eth0 [ started ] netmount [ started ] ntpd [ started ] sshd [ started ] syslog-ng [ started ] vcron [ off ] vmware [ off ] ypbind [ started ] ----- I know atd and cron didn't start because the system thinks logger didn't start so fixing the metalog problem should fix them as well. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
