Package: quagga Version: 0.99.5-5etch3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Quagga's ripd provides the possibility to turn on debugging which will show up and explain received and sent RIP packets. To enable this kind of debugging, you have to enter the following two lines into ripd's configuration: myrouter# conf t myrouter(config)# debug rip packet recv detail myrouter(config)# debug rip packet send detail myrouter(config)# exit myrouter# If you now show the current config with "show running-config", only one additional line appears in the config which says: myrouter# show running-conig ... debug rip packet detail ... Note that "recv" and "send" are gone (looks like some aggregation). Anyway, if you store now running-config with "write" into the config-file "/etc/quagga/ripd.conf" and afterwards restart ripd, it will spit out the following error message: myrouter:~# /etc/init.d/quagga restart ripd Stopping Quagga daemons (prio:0): (ripd). Removing all routes made by zebra. Nothing to flush. Loading capability module if not yet done. Starting Quagga daemons (prio:10): ripdThere is no such command. Error occured during reading below line. debug rip packet detail To get around this bug, you have to open ripd.conf with an editor and manually remove the line. Afterwards ripd will start up smoothly. A nasty bug, if you forgot to disable debugging, stored the config and reboot your machine - if you really depend on ripd, then the machine will not fully come back on the network, because ripd fails. At the end of this post [1] it was noted, but not answered later.
