Description Martin Väth 2007-09-23 22:18:38 UTC 
/lib/rcscripts/net/pppd.sh contains a numerical expression of the form
  $((${metric} + _ifindex))
The implicit call of a function (_ifindex) does not work when /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash. It is necessary to explicitly invoke the function:
  $((${metric} + `_ifindex`))
