Description of problem: when using "plugin capiplugin" to access ISDN modems, pppd crashs: ----------------------------- Plugin userpass.so loaded. userpass: $Revision: 1.5 $ Plugin capiplugin.so loaded. capiplugin: $Revision: 1.36 $ capiconn: 1.13 Couldn't load shared library libcapi20.so libcapi20.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load shared library libcapi20.so libcapi20.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory scripts/ppp-on: line 3: 2886 Segmentation fault ------------------------------- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ppp: 2.4.4 isdn4k-utils: 3.2-54.fc7 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure a ppp peer with "plugin capiplugin.so" 2. start pppd Actual results: crash (see above) Expected results: no crash ;-) Additional info: The reason is a bug in isdn4k-utils package: The capiplugin (/usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4/capiplugin.so from isdn4k-utils package) tries to load libcapi20.so (most likely via dlopen). Unfortunately isdn4k-utils does only include: /usr/lib/libcapi20.so.3 /usr/lib/libcapi20.so.3.0.4 . The required libcap20.so file is only available in the isdn4k-utils-devel package. So there is a workaround: just install the devel package. ;-) A short-term solution could be to put the *.so link into the isdn4k-utils package itself. If it would be better to let the capiplugin.so dlopen the the libcapi20 using the long name (libcap20.so.3) or something like this I'm not 100% sure. I'm setting the severity to high because it is (from a high level point of view) a crash/segfault.
Any news regarding this issue? It looks like that the same problem is also in F8 and RAWHIDE. Is there anything I can do to help to fix the problem? Regards, Christian
Unfortunately the problem is still in current RAWHIDE / upcoming F9. I'm setting the version to RAWHIDE...
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
it's fixed in isdn4k-utils-3_2-62_fc11.
