Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2004 2:26 am Post subject: Minor annoyance with vixie-cron and vcron... |
|
|
Through a routine I would rather not get into I now have this on boot up:
Code: |
* Caching service dependencies...
* Service 'vcron' already provide 'cron'!;
* Not adding service 'vixie-cron'...
|
I have vcron installed not vixie-cron(yes, I realize that they are both the same thing now). My problem is that no matter how many times I use the rc-update command I can't get rid of the above message, is there another way to fix this? |

I forget exactly what I had to do to get mine to work, but try this (may not be in correct order):
Code: | emerge unmerge vcron
emerge vixie-cron
rm /etc/init.d/vcron
depscan.sh
rc-update del vcron
rc-update del vixie-cron
rc-update add vixie-cron default

Thanks. |

Amazingly, tomk has found a plethora of people who were all asking about the vixie-cron / vcron thing. This is the official solution thread to that issue. If you have more problems with this, please post here. Also, I have made this post sticky in a desperate attempt to prevent more dups.

i dont think you even have to do that much, ive had the same problem but with kernel logger and solved it t his way:
Code: |
/etc/init.d/sysklogd stop
rm /etc/init.d/sysklogd
rc-update del sysklogd default
emerge syslog-ng
rc-update add syslog-ng default
|
thats it |

IIRC, I did it a bit quicker:
Code: | # emerge unmerge vcron
# rc-update del vcron
(optional) # rm /etc/init.d/vcron
# emerge vixie-cron
# rc-update add vixie-cron default |

If we must rename this thing, we need to do it everywhere. The entry for vcron in the online package database still says:
Quote: | vcron

You can skip the step where you unmerge vcron as it is not installed on your system. _________________ if i never try anything, i never learn anything..

I can't unmerge it either. Is there a way to manually remove it?
Code: | larnyx vixie-cron # emerge -C vcron
!!! Couldn't find match for vcron
>>> unmerge: No packages selected for removal.
larnyx vixie-cron # depscan.sh
* Caching service dependencies...
* Service 'vcron' already provide 'cron'!;
* Not adding service 'vixie-cron'...

I think "Major Annoyance ..." or even better "Pointless Annoyance ..." would be a better title for this thread.
I wonder how many human hours were spent worldwide trying to figure out the vcron -> vixie-cron renaming?
I hope the Gentoo devs learned a lesson from this useless re-factoring of package names. Somehow, I doubt it tho. |

I'm sorry I can't seem to get this, but I've carefully done everything suggested here several times to make sure, and when one failed, I did the other, exactly as shown, again and again from scratch, and after every subsequent emerge I still get:
* Caching service dependencies...
* Service 'vcron' already provide 'cron'!;
* Not adding service 'vixie-cron'... [ ok ]
* Caching service dependencies...
* Service 'vcron' already provide 'cron'!;
* Not adding service 'vixie-cron'... [ ok ]
>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...
>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
What am I missing here? I've even rebooted between various attempts, to make sure the ram cache is flushed, but none of the above solutions ever work. I hate to beat for what for some must be a dead horse, but apparently I'm just not getting it.

Perhaps
Code: | rm /etc/init.d/vcron |
will do the trick? |

That's what I've did and it worked.

Hi All,
I was the one responsible for moving the package name. In the end the move's implementation obviously left much to be desired. Please accept my apology for this. Lesson learned. If I have to subject users to a move like this again, I'll be sure to make a cleaner path for you. |
