Hi Ian,

There's a new configure option for s6-rc, `--bootdb`, which defaults to 
`/etc/s6-rc/compiled/current`. You need to override that with the 
location of your compiled database. I was able to get past this just by 
adding `--bootdb=/etc/s6-rc/compiled`.

You could alternatively adjust your system to the new default, with 
something like:

rm /etc/s6-rc/compiled

mkdir /etc/s6-rc/compiled

mv /etc/s6-rc/compiled-08-02-26 /etc/s6-rc/compiled/08-02-26

ln -s /etc/s6-rc/compiled/08-02-26 /etc/s6-rc/compiled/current

Cheers!
