[gentoo-user] rc-status and broken links

[Peter Kelly]

Hola!

After a recent rebuild starting with a failed hard drive, I think I've got 
everything nailed down... except 

root ~ $ rc-status -s default
Runlevel: all
 alsasound				 [ broken   ]
 apmd					 [ broken   ]
...
xdm					 [ broken   ]
 xfs					 [ broken   ]
 * You have some broken symbolic links as reported by the broken
 * status above. This can be fixed by removing the broken service
 * from its runlevel and re-adding it back using rc-update.

Now, it shows that every service is [broken], but the advice to remove the 
broken service using rc-update -d (service) and add it in again does nothing.  
Everything is still [broken].

Anyone seen this, and have an idea how to fix it?

Thanks.

Peter

Hmm, I had this happen once to me before...every single link in 
/etc/runlevels was broken. System still booted though?

After re-reading your post are you saying the sym links are broken in 
/etc/runlevels or just in the output of rc-status?

I manually fixed every sym link by hand because I had no idea what was 
wrong...Now that I have more experience I still don't know how to fix it 
because it hasn't happened again.. ??

Good luck,
Jeremy

System boots fine.  I'm still finding a couple issues after the deaths of the 
hard drive and motherboard, but pretty minor stuff, like this.

I only see the [broken] message when I use `rc-status -s`.
If I just type 'rc-status', I get a correct response for the default runlevel.

The only reason I even know this is a problem is because of a typo.  I meant 
to run rc-update -s, and typed rc-status -s by mistake.

But now that I *know* there is an issue, I really want to fix it.

Thanks.

Peter

There's a bug files here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113755

I see the same now, I was thinking of rc-update (I'd automatically
corrected your typo :) but rc-status -s shows everything as broken, when
it isn't.

Thanks.  I've updated the bug, and added another with a reference,
since I couldn't figure out how to re-open 113755.
Now, will this post using Agent and Wine?

If it double posts, I apologize.
