well, net-misc/openswan-2.4.11 is also broken now: ipsec_setup: Starting Openswan IPsec U2.4.11/K2.6.22-gentoo-r10... ipsec_setup: unable to determine address of `ppp0' great stuff! :-/
btw: you can try sys-apps/iproute2 ~# ip addr show [<interface>] this output should be more stable ;-) on the other hand, you could check the output of "LC_ALL=C ifconfig <int>" if it includes "inet addr: .* Mask" (old style) or "inet .* netmask" (new style). you could even use a single 'sed' for it. example: LC_ALL="C" ifconfig eth1 | \ sed -n -e "s/.* inet addr:\([^ ]\+\) .*Mask:.*/\1/p" \ -e "s/.* inet \([^ ]\+\) .*netmask .*/\1/p" should extract the IP, either old or new style.

Could you explain me why Bug 217824 is the same as this one ?
*** Bug 218073 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
ive reverted the ifconfig output changes until openrc can be updated
openrc should be fixed now: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/openrc.git;a=commitdiff;h=b35430c04fafb638e5bfcdabbb213b18c0374938
there's a patch in the upstream openswan tracker to make it use iproute instead of ifconfig/netstat: http://bugs.xelerance.com/view.php?id=292

This just broke my production server. Any update on this?

i really dont think it's possible for your system to hit this unless you've got something else wrong. the changed version never hit stable.
hmm, since upstream openswan is going nowhere, i think i'll add IUSE=old-output and default it to off. then openswan can depend on that. Alin: that OK with you ?

net-tools-1.60_p201111202031570500 in the tree has USE=old-output (the default is the new output style) ive also added openswan-2.6.37-r1 with the new dependencies
