Description Kris Buytaert 2001-04-22 18:43:01 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686)


I upgraded a RH 6.2 or  6.1 box to RH 7.1,  the machine booted but couldn`t
find the /etc/init.d/functions  file, after booting in single user I could
make a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d   

Reproducible: Didn't try

Expected Results:  Clean boot should have occured just as with the upgrades
from 7.0.91 to 7.1

any errors around chkconfig or initscripts in /tmp/upgrade.log?

Did both chkconfig & initscripts get updated?

Comment 2 John McMonagle 2001-04-24 13:01:53 UTC

The same happened to me twice.

The common thing I can think of is that cups was installed.

On the first system I just did a new install.

On the second system I  used the first as a reference.
Noticed first that all the symlinks of the directories in /etc/rc.d in ./etc
were wrong.

I renamed the existing links and  made new ones.

Also initscripts did not update. Still had the one from rh6.2.
I did that manually.
Now works fine.

From upgradelog:

Upgrading initscripts.

Just looked at archive of old etc

Looks like cups did it !
rpm of cups -1.1.4-1 did it.

Yes, that looks like the cups package is broken. I'd be curious to know
if the original reporter had that installed.
