Description of problem: On PPP Links that are IPV6 only, the initscripts fails Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rp-pppoe-3.8-3.fc9 and earlier How reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a PPP connection that does assign IPV6 but no IPV4 2. ifup <connection> Actual results: Timeout of ifup in pppoe-status. Link will be 'half up', won't set route and won't be persistent. Expected results: Link up without a timeout. Additional info: The calls hangs while repeatedly calling pppoe-status. Manually calling this script with the same parameters shows: pppoe-status: Link is attached to ppp6, but ppp6 is down This is because for checking the status, in line 90, the result of 'netstat -rn' is 'grep'ped, which in the IPV6-only-case does not contain any lines for the interface. Fix: Also grep the result of 'netstat -rn -A inet6' if first try fails. For some reason, the result has extra characters after the interface name, so the $ has to go from the grep argument.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
