New iproute2 from testing breaks vpnc

goran'agar · 2010-08-07 18:32:21

Hi.
As the subject says, iproute2-2.6.35-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz breaks vpnc for me.

No messages in the logs but only a

RTNETLINK answers: No such device

in console followed by a message saying that vpnc failed to connect to the remote host.

FWIW, I use a self-compiled 2.6.35 kernel. Rolling back to the previous iproute2-2.6.34-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz fixes the issue for me.

The error message probably comes from vpnc-script, which uses the 'ip' tool excessively. Can you find out where in that script the error occurs?

a fix for this issue was added to 2.6.35-2, can you try it and let me know if it works for you?

well, I'm the one who originally reported the bug on netdev and tested the proposed fix
so, yes, the fix works for me.

Well, it seems that the fix was not the correct one. Please have a look at:

I tested the proposed fix with ipv4 (I don't have ipv6) and it works for me.
