openrc 0.62.4 fails to load deptree

[JanAbb]

We are using openrc in our pipeline for quite a while now. Suddenly since yesterday it started failing with the error:

• openrc
  Service 'hwdrivers' needs non existent service 'dev'
  Service 'machine-id' needs non existent service 'dev'

• Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
• stat(/run/openrc): Bad file descriptor/deptree
• failed to load deptree

I assume it is due to the newest version released. We are simply installing it via "apk --update add openrc --no-cache" and then run "openrc" as seen above. (This installs v0.62.4)

It is run in our concourse pipeline using alpine linux to deploy lambdas to AWS with custom docker images.

@JanAbb could you try the patch in #889?

note this issue does not affect bare metal users, since the sysinit runlevel is directly started by init, and thus creates /run/openrc beforehand.

still a bug though, that affect containers or non-main-service manager usecases -- a workaround is to create /run/openrc beforehand manually

Hi,

I encounter this problem too with my WSL/Gentoo Image.
I've tested your patches and it fixed the issue for me.

Hi Navi,

Thanks for the fats response! The workaround worked for me! I just added mkdir /run/openrc to the pipeline before calling openrc and it works!
