When running with a default shell of dash and not bash, the /etc/init.d/module-init-tools script complains about not finding the bash builtin shopt: # /etc/init.d/module-init-tools start /etc/init.d/module-init-tools: 62: shopt: not found # Which is from this call: modules="`shopt -s nullglob ; cat /etc/modules /etc/modules.d/* \ | sed -e \"s/#.*//g\" -e \"/^\( \|\t\)*$/d\" `"I have to say I don't really understand where you got this code. It has been fixed back in July, and is surely not in version 8.0-1.
It might be related to package name change in
freebsd-utils (7.1-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Rename module-init-tools to kldutils and net-tools to freebsd-net-tools,
as this is messing up the expectations of several services of equially
named binary coming from the same source package.

Please run "dpkg -L kldutils", there should be only lines
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/kldutils
Please try also "dpkg -la | grep modules-init-tools",
there should be no such package. You might want to purge it.
