Thank you for investigating this issue. I'm not sure there's enough justification to put the fix into Ubuntu directly right now. If someone familiar with the protocol and code base can provide more technical detail on why this is a production-ready fix, or if upstream patch it (indicating that it is suitable for production) then I think that would change. Or, of course, if an Ubuntu developer disagrees with me.
For now, it sounds like the best venue for this workaround would be a patched package in a PPA for users to opt to install if they specifically need this workaround. I'm going to mark this bug Won't Fix for now, in order that it remains searchable and doesn't expire. But please do comment and change the status back to New if more information becomes available or the situation changes (eg. upstream picks up the fix). If an upstream bug gets filed, please link to it too. ** Changed in: ipsec-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ipsec-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016639 Title: LT2P VPN connection issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipsec-tools/+bug/1016639/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
