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.

 *         "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.
