[anil_et]

Hi,
After doing a emerge -up world
While starting the hotplug I get an error

/etc/hotplug/pci.agent: line 167: [: =: unary operator expected

Pls help

I get the same problem and because of this (I think) gphoto2 doesn't seem to find my digital camera. It's the latest update which has done it for me, only emerged the new hotplug in the last couple of days.

Here's the error I get:

Code: Select all

 * WARNING:  you are stopping a boot service.
 * Stopping USB and PCI hotplugging...                                    [ ok ]

/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: line 167: [: =: unary operator expected           [ ok ]

I've looked in the agent scripts and can't see anything wrong, and I can't remember what I changed in the files before when I found a similar error... Hotplug has had a few errors with the code in the past which I've been able to fix pretty easily, but this one baffles me.
