Package: network-manager-ssh
Version: 1.2.11-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
on a Debian system with /bin/sh pointing to dash network-manager-ssh
incorrectly decides that tap0 is available for use as a local interface.
When tap0 is in use by some other application this results in inability
to connect to the ssh-based VPN.
My expectation is that network-manager-ssh should be able to find an
unused tap interface name regardless of the default shell type.
I have reported it and proposed a fix to the upstream here:
https://github.com/danfruehauf/NetworkManager-ssh/pull/105/commits/82b4217e89e1abb5554609c6096b2e21c4e4eab2
