Depending on the local setup, due to upstream changes, OpenRC 0.62.2 might need one or more of services local, localmount and netmount to be added to runlevel default.

This can be done with commands:

- rc-update add local default
- rc-update add localmount default
- rc-update add netmount default

Might? How do I know my setup's one of them? Inability to boot?

If any of the mounts is missing or an rclocal script is not run during the boot.

Hello,

I got the following error on upgrading:
:: ¿Continuar con la instalación? [S/n]

-> error installing repo packages
Into English:
Error: Operation could not be performed (conflicting files) openrc: /etc/runlevels/default/local exists in the file system Openrc: /etc/runlevels/default/netmount exists on the file system Errors occurred, so packages will not be updated -> error installing repo packages

Then I followed your instrcutions and got the same problem.

Probably, it is a silly problem, but I'm completely clueless.

Perhaps, I must backup those files. Then override them with:
$ doas pacman -S openrc --overwrite /etc/runlevels/default/*

You can cp/mv those 2 files somewhere else and then run pacman -S openrc again.

Just for a clear explanation of the solution, what you want to do is:

Code: [Select]

$ mv /etc/runlevels/default /etc/runlevels/default.bak
$ sudo pacman -Syyu
$ cp /etc/runlevels/default.bak/* /etc/runlevels/default/
$ sudo reboot # to check that default loads again

this will keep a full backup of default runlevel operations. yeah you can just move or delete the two files, but this is how i did it, as it felt safer to me (even if that is just all mental :) )

What is this for?
runlevels are symlinks, managed by the rc-update program. :D
