openrc-12.4: services gone mad after update

[szatox]

Hi, I've updated my gentoo and a few problems with services arised.
1) net.* services are not started automaticaly even though they are in default runlevel. However I can start them manualy. Well, most of them.
2) rc-service <anything> iprovide returns nothing
3) hostapd suddenly won't start, because wireless interface will not start because it sudenly requires wpa_supplicant which won't start because it doesn't have config file, since that interface has always worked in master mode.
4) dhcpd sudenly depends on net.eth1, which doesn't exist as it's called net.enp3s7 since udev-187 or something similar (like 1 year ago?)
Services that don't require network are started just like before upgrade

Hi Szatox,

I had similar problems some time ago after upgrading to openrc- 12.4( i.e. net.lo and net.eth0 wouldn't start, but networking was present using ifconfig).

What does

[szatox]

Thanks for reply, unfortunately re-emerging netifrc didn't do the trick for me.

All net.* services can be started manualy and then work fine - except for wireless device which appears to have conflict on its own... The point is they don't start even though they are explicitly mentioned in boot (net.lo) and default (phisical interfaces and bridges) runlevels.

* Bringing up interface lo
* 127.0.0.1/8 ... [ ok ]
* Adding routes
* 127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 ...


've also checked out my another computer with openrc-0.11.8. In 12.4 there is new service, loopback conflicting with net.lo. Disabling it still doesn't make net.* run automaticaly during boot though.

edit: I have noticed something. After restart there are 4 interfaces:
local loopback, up and running (even though loopback service is disabled, and net.lo is not started)
enp2s0, up and running, configured with external dhcp - net.enp2s0 is not started
enp3s7 up but not configured. It used to have static configuration used by local network. net.enp3s7 not started
wireless up but not configued, just like above
2 bridges are missing.

Grepping through logs points at dhcpcd which is a service on it's own now. Time to find out if it is what is messing up
edit: it's not. It does bring interfaces up, but after disabling it still no net.* iprovide returns net. Or anything.

For all those who run into troubles with openrc:
Dependency cache sometimes gets out of sync. When things go wrong, use `rc-update --update` and check if it helped.

EOT.

Same problem with clean install from last stage, same solution:

rc-update --update
