Bugzilla Bug 43592

Can't connect with ppp-2.4.2 because of missing userpass.so in capi4k-utils.

/usr/sbin/pppd: /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2/userpass.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/pppd: Couldn't load plugin userpass.so


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

tried to recompile capi4k-utils?

Recompiling doesn't help because PPPVERSIONS doesn't know 2.4.2 (latest is
2.4.2b3)
Take a lot at Makefile in pppdcapiplugin dir.

Now i added 2.4.2 to PPPVERSIONS, copied ppp-2.4.2b3 to ppp-2.4.2 and changed 
version in patchlevel.h.
The connection works again - but i didn't check what should/must be changed in 
pppd.h subdirectory.

BTW: There is a new version
ftp://ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/capi4linux/capi4k-utils-2004-01-19.tar.gz -- but
without 2.4.2, too.

i'm a bit confused, where is the difference between capi4k-utils and
isdn4k-utils. the current cvs version of isdn4k-utils has support for ppp 2.4.2

i don't know exactly whether capi4k-utils is a subset of isdn4k-utils or not,
but i found other websites that state capi4k-utils are no longer necessary and
that it was integrated into isdn4k-utils. I don't know how reliable theses
pages are, and why there are still new releases of capi4k-utils, but i build
the isdn4k-utils from the latest cvs-snapshot (2004.02.26) and they are perfect
for my needs and i removed capi4k-utils.

i added CONFIG_PPPDCAPIPLUGIN=y to the "config"-file (and removed the
gcc33-multiline.patch - cause it didn't build without modification and i don't
need ippp, so no investigation done)


After all: There is no package in the tree that provides capiplugin.so and 
userpass.so for ppp-2.4.2.

I created a small patch (Calle@in-berlin.de, please forgive me ;o) as well as a
new ebuild which

a) takes the newest stable version of capi4k-utils (2004-01-19) and
b) adds support for pppd-2.4.2 (this is only a nasty hack, but it works as
expected)

to work. these patches did it for me.

thanks torsten

capi4k-utils-20040810.ebuild commited and seems to fix this. Please reopen if
it doesn't.
