Configure EPEL on RHEL5.3 box 2. Try to install NetworkManager-vpnc Actual results: rpm transaction fails Expected results: package is installed. Additional info: EPEL doesn't provide newer version of the package which works with newer versions of NM.
This causes problems with 5.2 -> 5.3 upgrades when NetworkManager-vpnc is already installed: # yum upgrade ... --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: NetworkManager conflicts with NetworkManager-vpnc < 1:0.7.0-2 Bumping severity due to this.
So I've updated the package for EL-5, but it doesn't build due a buildsystem problem: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1308#preview Until it is fixed, Alexander, could you please build it from CVS checkout and try it out? I don't have an EL-5 around here, and in work we don't have a cisco VPN. While at this, it's some time since EL 5.3 was released. It would be nice if this had an active maintainer (I believe Huzaifa is going to take care of that).
Built. Grab the packages from here: http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/plague-results/fedora-5-epel/NetworkManager-vpnc/0.7.0.99-1.el5.2/ Please let me know if that works for you.
It does not work. If you click "Add" and then new vpnc connection, it will seg fault. Editing an old vpnc connection will segfault too. Here is the end of an strace log: connect(16, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/keyring-95ysUG/socket"}, 110) = 0 fcntl(16, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) write(16, "\0", 1) = 1 write(16, "\0\0\0\34\0\0\0\24nm-connection-editor\0\0\0\211"..., 165) = 165 read(16, "\0\0\0\10", 4) = 4 read(16, "\0\0\0\1", 4) = 4 close(16) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/plague-results/fedora-5-epel/NetworkManager-vpnc/0.7.0.99-1.el5.3/ The crash issue should be fixed. Please retest.
Created attachment 339270 [details] Importing pcf file error Thanks, it works now. One bug still remains. If you try to import pcf file, you get a error like in the attachment.

If you try to import pcf file, you get a error like in > the attachment. Please open a separate bug report for that. Is the file name in the screenshot correct? Did this work before?
Ok. New bug number 497992 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497992 The file name in the screenshot is not correct. It seems to change randomly every time you try to import a pcf file. I only know about RHEL 5.3. In my setup within few months it has never worked.
I mean the plugin and everything works good, importing pcf file does not.
Am I the only person who thinks it's inappropriate to close a bug before it's actually fixed in the main repository?
