[gentoo-user] adding/removing services
At the end of emerges I'm getting something about a couple of programs saying it isn't adding the to services because some other program, a program that is no longer even merged, is providing that function. I did actually delete the old and add the new in rc-update and the new program is running fine, but is there some way to take care of this. Thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, Cheryl-- Usually the solution to this is to go to /etc/init.d and remove the script for the offending unmerged program. I'm sure there's some reason that such scripts are not removed by the unmerge, but I don't know what it is. YMMV, but hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You probably got hit by the /etc/init.d is CONFIG_PROTECTed feature. You'll need to manually rm init scripts when uninstalling. In future, you may wish to extend CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm pgpp8pA0vTKqM.pgp Description: PGP signature
