The installation of gw6c (version 6.0.1dfsg.1-4 under Karmic) creates an
empty directory /etc/gw6c. The required config file is missing => gw6c
cannot start and the system will get no IPv6 connectivity.

To manually fix the problem, I have extracted 
/usr/share/doc/gw6c/examples/gw6c.conf.sample.gz to /etc/gw6c/gw6c.conf. The 
example configuration needs the following changes to actually work:
if_tunnel_v6v4=sit1
if_tunnel_v6udpv4=tun0
if_tunnel_v4v6=sit0
template=linux

I think this installation bug is of high importance, since it prevents
less-experienced users from getting IPv6 connectivity.


** Changed in: gw6c (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
