init-scripts not working (syntax-error) <<Solved>>

Hi folks!

Since I rebooted my system after the last emerge -uD world, all of a sudden my init-scripts and network connection are messed up

I didn't do anything else that could be related to my network, as it always worked fine before.

When booting I get a lot of errors like this:

rc-daemon.sh: syntax error near unexpected token '(' in line (zzz)

Same goes for net.eth0 and net.lo.

I managed to set up my network manually with

ifconfig device IP up
route add default gw GW

But KDE will hang on startup, and this would be merely a workaround.

Does anybody know what got me into these problems, and how I could solve them?

Thanks a bunch!

Don't use bash-3.1, only use bash-3.0 for the time being

Good evening, and thanks fpr your reply!

Yes, I'm using bash 3.1 atm, how can I switch back to 3.0? Never did a downgrade before ^^

Remove bash from /etc/portage/package.unmask as you must have asked it to be unmasked at some point

Oki, thanks

I have ~X86 in my make.conf. Doing another world-update atm, bash 3.1 seems to be downgraded. Hope it works!

With bash 3.0 it's working fine again! Thanks!
