--- Begin Message ---Package: ppp Version: 2.4.9-1 Severity: normal Tags: d-i newcomer patch The debian-installer manual tells that you can use the boot-kernel-parameter 'modules=ppp-udev' to use a PPPoE connection during installation, which I had used successfully on older (Jessie) versions. Now I want to use that feature in Bullseye which fails. I have investigated the problem and found two reasons: 1) The ppp-udeb's postinst-script runs pppoe-discovery with the '-A' parameter, which was deprecated and is removed in the version shipped with bullseye. Thus ppp-discovery don't run successfully and the installer gives an error message. I have fixed this successfully: --- ppp-2.4.9/debian/ppp-udeb.postinst 2021-01-07 01:10:29.000000000 +0100 +++ ppp-udeb.postinst 2023-08-02 12:10:30.233592399 +0200 @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ db_progress START 0 $TOTWAIT ppp/detect_progress for P in "" "-U" ; do rm -f /tmp/probe-finished /tmp/ppp-errors - ( R=$(pppoe-discovery -A $P -I $1 2>/tmp/ppp-errors | \ + ( R=$(pppoe-discovery $P -I $1 2>/tmp/ppp-errors | \ grep AC | wc -l) echo $R > /tmp/probe-finished ) & WAIT=0 I found that the '-A' parameter is used in the current git master branch, so this should affect more recent versions also. 2) In the bullseye installer, running ppp-udeb breaks with error messages for missing libraries: libsystemd0, liblzma5 and libz4-1. I have copied the entries for that libraries out of '<installer-cd>/dists/bullseye/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages.gz' into '<installer-cd>/dists/bullseye/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz', which works fine for me, but I think there is a more elegant way to do that. (But I'm not familiar to that. I also think that these libraries are not needed to establish a PPPoE-connection.) With this two fixes I got it working on my Bullseye USB Installer stick and I have tested on BIOS and UEFI Virtual and Physical machines, but I don't know a better way to commit that to the Debian project. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.7 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-security'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: armhf, i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-23-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
