Hi All.


I just tried to restart xdm, and I get the following error:

Code:
# /etc/init.d/xdm restart
 * Stopping gdm ...
/lib/rcscripts/sh/rc-daemon.sh: line 137: ((: TERM/5/TERM/5: division by 0 (error token is "/5")
/lib/rcscripts/sh/rc-daemon.sh: line 137: ((: TERM/5/TERM/5: division by 0 (error token is "/5")
 * Error stopping gdm



What gives?

I did a system update today, which may or may not be related, but I made sure I did a dispatch-conf afterwards. I can manually kill the gdm process and then start it again via the xdm init script, I just can't use the stop function.

Any ideas?



Cheers,

Just realised that xinit was updated to xinit-1.0.3-r1 today. I guess that's no co-incidence!

Is this a bug? Or am I forgetting to check/alter something?

According to the bug report I have to upgrade to baselayout-1.12.9 as the fix, surely not? I do use some testing packages I guess, is that why? It just seems a little overkill maybe since I've been using stable baselayout ever since I started using Gentoo with no real issues.

Should I just upgrade and stop worrying about it?
