Hi there!
I just did an emerge -uDN on my system, followed by revdep-rebuild and
emerge --depclean. When rebooting, my system did not come up because of
missing things like /sbin/rc. Argh! Good thing I had a backup, after
copying some files back the system was up again, and I could go to bed.
Bad idea anyway to do a reboot on a critical machine at 6 AM.
The missing files belong to sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.10-r5 which I had
just installed recently. I had masked it for a while
because I want to update such critical packages only when I am home at
the server, while most of the time I am far away from it.
The depclean removed an older baselayout which was also installed, I guess
that removed the files. Why did that happen, and why did I have two
baselayouts installed in parallel?
These are the missing files:
/etc/env.d/00basic
/etc/init.d/depscan.sh
/etc/init.d/functions.sh
/etc/init.d/runscript.sh
/sbin/depscan.sh
/sbin/functions.sh
/sbin/rc
/sbin/rc-update
/sbin/runscript
/sbin/runscript.sh
/sbin/start-stop-daemon
/sbin/update-rc
/usr/sbin/MAKEDEV
