vpnc error - [SOLVED]

I've used vpnc a couple months ago to connect to my job's vpn and it worked flawlessly.  I didnt use it for a while and now when I run it I get the following error.

Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "64" is a garbage.

I'm assuming some update has caused this.  I checked the vpn settings on the corporate side and nothing has changed recently.  Has anyone else seen this error?

Re: vpnc error - [SOLVED]

I am also seeing this error.  Unfortunetly, vpnc is not working for me.  I can't ping anything outside of my network.  Has anyone filed a bug on this?

EDIT:  Found a fix.  See https://ucmshare.ucmerced.edu/docushare … client.txt
Scroll down to #7. the error "Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "64" is a garbage."

the fix to this "bug" in vpnc-0.3.3 is to edit the /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script
   file by changing:

   sed 's/cache//;s/metric[0-9]+ [0-9]+//g'
   to
   sed 's/cache//;s/metric [0-9]+ [0-9]+//g'

   within the fix_ip_get_output function.

information regarding the fix listed above can be found at:

Re: vpnc error - [SOLVED]

Yea, in more troubleshooting, I noticed that I actually got an IP from within the corporate network, but I couldn't ping anything inside or outside the network.

I'll give this fix a try when I get home tonight, thanks.

Re: vpnc error - [SOLVED]

Well today I did a pacman -Syu and it got a new version of vpnc, 3.3-2 and it worked perfectly.

Thanks, guys.

Perhaps edit this to display [Solved] in the title? Might be useful in the future.
