Bug 299040 – Stable net-analyzer/ngrep-1.45-r3 WAS: net-analyzer/ngrep-1.45-r2 fails for ppp0 with unsupported interface 113

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hartmut Figge 2009-12-30 22:41:42 UTC]

In the past i sometimes used ngrep successfully for ppp0. Now it fails with

hafi@e675 ~ $ sudo ngrep -x -d ppp0
interface: ppp0 (78.49.14.82/255.255.255.255)
fatal: unsupported interface type 113

I have found a related bug for debian which may be helpful:

Reproducible: Always

Apparently fixed in Debian's ngrep_1.45.ds2-7.

[Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2010-09-15 02:58:47 UTC]

So, according to that Debian bug, the fix for us would be this:

[Comment 4 Jordan Ritter 2010-12-08 18:10:39 UTC]

This looks like it resolves to a configure/ebuild a ebuild solution.  

But the ticket is assigned to me -- what would you guys like me to do?

[Comment 5 Daniel Chobe 2010-12-09 07:43:39 UTC]

Maybe, you can put the ebuild into the main branch.

[Comment 6 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2010-12-09 16:45:22 UTC]

Nobody has yet confirmed that the patch in comment #2 actually works.

[Comment 7 Daniel Chobe 2010-12-10 08:26:42 UTC]

I confirm that this Patch/eBuild -r3 works for me on x86

[Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2010-12-10 17:17:07 UTC]

Arch teams, please test and mark stable:
=net-analyzer/ngrep-1.45-r3
Target KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86"

[Comment 9 Michael Weber (RETIRED) 2010-12-11 22:43:36 UTC]

builds on amd64/arm/sparc, but shouldn't we wait 30 days?

The fix solves a problem with the current stable. So I vote NO. The problem was there all along with newer libpcap versions, so this is rather urgent.

[Comment 11 Myckel Habets 2010-12-12 09:07:33 UTC]

The 30 days is a guide line, not a hard rule.

[Comment 12 Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) 2010-12-12 09:37:47 UTC]

x86 done. Thanks everyone.

[Comment 13 Agostino Sarubbo 2010-12-12 15:02:09 UTC]

amd64 ok

[Comment 14 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2010-12-12 17:05:07 UTC]

alpha/arm/ia64/s390/sh/sparc stable

[Comment 15 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2010-12-13 05:53:07 UTC]

Stable for HPPA PPC.

[Comment 16 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) 2010-12-29 15:40:15 UTC]

amd64 done. Thanks Agostino

[Comment 17 Kacper Kowalik (Xarthisius) (RETIRED) 2011-01-10 18:50:11 UTC]
