This +is because netbase, by default, causes ipv6 module to be loaded but +they don't (and cannot) depend on each-other. + +The solution is to either: + - Not put ipv6 keys into /etc/sysctl.d/* or /etc/sysctl.conf + - Compile the ipv6 module into the kernel + - Load the module early by putting ipv6 into /etc/modules + - Make a init script dependency by adding netbase to the Required-Start + line in /etc/init.d/procps + +pgrep +----- +pgrep is a new program, using the Unix standard name for something that +greps for processes. If you are looking for Perl compatible regular +expression grep, it is called pcregrep. + + Craig Small <csmall@debian.org> |
