Package: pppoeconf Version: 1.21+nmu1 Severity: serious Hi,
pppoeconf invokes ppp's `pppoe-discovery` with something like `-U -A -I $iface`, which fails hard against ppp's v2.4.9-1+1, which doesn't provide such an option `-A` any longer: | # pppoe-discovery -U -A -I eth1 | pppoe-discovery: invalid option -- 'A' | Usage: pppoe-discovery [options] | Options: | -I if_name -- Specify interface (default eth0) | -D filename -- Log debugging information in filename. | -t timeout -- Initial timeout for discovery packets in seconds | -a attempts -- Number of discovery attempts | -V -- Print version and exit. | -Q -- Quit Mode: Do not print access concentrator names | -S name -- Set desired service name. | -C name -- Set desired access concentrator name. | -U -- Use Host-Unique to allow multiple PPPoE sessions. | -W hexvalue -- Set the Host-Unique to the supplied hex string. | -h -- Print usage information. | | pppoe-discovery from pppd 2.4.9 Looking at upstream's ppp git repos, the -A option (which was anyway accepted for compatibility only with pppoe) is gone as of v2.4.9. AFAICT the fix should be as simple as dropping the "-A" option from pppoeconf. regards -mika-
